When asked to describe Max Goodman, his teachers would say "loves to talk and has no inside voice" which still remains true to this day.
Originally from the mighty Kapiti Coast, he grew up on the front seat of heavy machinery, in a pair of stubbies and not afraid of getting into a bit of dirt.
You'll often find Max cheering on the Hurricanes in the Super rugby, burning bacon in the work kitchen or a bit of gaming on the weekend.
