Meet Joe Moncur, a builder by day, Beard Oil Batman by night.

While Joe would usually fit the rough and ready tradie feels, he knows that attention to detail is the difference between being good or great. Joe started Summit Renovations in 2013 to showcase his point of difference & craft. Joe is backed by his leading lady and wife Nicole, and the two have been married for over three years.

We asked Joe a few questions about Travel Man and his motivations.

How did you get into 'building', and when did you figure it out it was something you were going to stick with it?

I have always wanted to be a builder from a very young age of 5 my opa/grandad was also a builder, and we used help him in his workshop, so I guess it's in my blood.

Which project are you most proud of?

Every project I do I'm proud of but there's always one that you just love, and that would be a Japanese inspired project in Ponsonby where a lot of design a build was done on the go and a lot of thinking out side of the box was required to make it one of a kind.

Who is your greatestmotivation/influence?

Cole Hatter
If you look up the podcast the Art of Charm
Look up 416 on the pod amazing story I've listened to a lot check it out.

What’s your theme song at the moment?

I love old school hip hop but who doesn't I would say... "Not Afraid" by Eminem.

What's the most interesting thing people don’t know about you?

I travelled, lived and worked in the USA when I was 17 and did a renovation over there, and I had to go from mm to inches in a day, it was a great experience.

How long have you had that godly beard?

Over three years now; since I've been married. Luckily the wife loves it, the beard oil helps too.

What’s different about your beard oil?

It's Nz made and all sourced in Nz, plus with the rosemary leaf, makes have the point of difference and add a bit of magic to it.

Why Travel Man?

After brain storming which I do a lot, I wrote at least 30 things around a c loud which said Beard Man, my wife and I love to travel and we think it's something that many other explorers can relate. Travel Man gives us a great platform to shape and mould different product offerings too.

Any Closing Comments?

"A beard is like a lady, if you don't look after her ... she won't look after you". Shampoo your beard every week that helps with a good clean to remove the pie gravy, and the oil helps with the dry and itchy part it also makes it softer and fuller.
