Overview of the author

Kevin Cameron spent a lifetime working in Television. Beginning his career in 1965 as the medium itself was evolving, he progressed from a television cadet to a Presentation Director, Sports Presenter/Reporter, Producer/Director, and ultimately a television executive. He worked with TVNZ (formerly the NZBC), Sky New Zealand, and since 2013, as a global freelance consultant while continuing some producer roles.

In May 1990, Kevin joined Sky New Zealand as Head of Sport, just three months before it launched. He served as Director of Sport from 1993 until his retirement in 2013, after which he relocated to Australia and took on various consultancy roles. Notably, he collaborated with IMG (International Management Group) and World Rugby for the 2015 and 2019 Rugby World Cups. Additionally, he was the Executive Producer for the Fijian Drua Super Rugby Pacific home fixtures in 2023 and 2024, working closely with the Fijian Broadcasting Corporation to elevate their production quality to match that of established broadcasters like Sky NZ, Channel Nine, and Stan Sports Australia.

Kevin was married to Jan Cameron, formerly Jan Murphy and then Jan Talbot. Jan was an Olympic and Commonwealth Games medalist for Australia. Jan carved out a highly successful coaching career, primarily in Australia, and then Canada, and eventually New Zealand, where she transformed a struggling club into the top swimming club in the country for over ten years. She also served as Head NZ coach during that time.

Their lives intertwined since 1961...

The book, "Two Passions," chronicles their unique love story, interwoven with their respective careers in the television industry, and Jan's impressive coaching career, highlighting the growth of both fields over the years.

Jan passed away in April 2018.
