Van Oostveen
Born: 15 April 1964, Wellington
Occupation: Secondary school teacher
Marital Status: Married
Children: Georgia, Declan and Ellie
Hobbies: Golf and fishing
Football/Referee History: Played for Mirimar Rangers and North Wellington. Refereeing for 3 years.
Highlights so far:
The referee academy in Napier where I got to meet Sante, Andy, Pugsy, JC, Ian and a few others. Its a great feeling being part of a team.
Why I became a Referee:
I was watching a game and shared my opinion of the referee with an assessor (Rex Dunn). He
said I might be right but "I don't see you out there". I started the next week, I only wish I had started earlier.
