He was best known in April 2018 as the Palmy Creep Catcher, on a quest to keep Palmerston North's children safe from sexual predators. He took notice of the Surrey Creep Catchers, a Canadian group formed with the aim of outing alleged paedophiles. "Hi I'm Palmy Creep Catchers and you're here to meet an underage girl for sex." He yelled at bystanders, saying he was "Palmy Creep Catchers" and the man he was following was a paedophile. He was willing to go to jail, boasting he would get someone to take up the moniker of Palmy Creep Catcher while he was inside.
