A fifth generation Pitcairn family member, Dain is an elected member of Pitcairn’s Board of Directors, he is chair of the Capital Committee, and serves on the Family Council, which he chaired for 10 years.

Dain is curious with an enthusiastic interest in a variety of activities, your classic jack-of-all-trades. A nature enthusiast who enjoys hiking and scuba diving, Dain hopes to someday dive the Great Barrier Reef. He loves to cook, particularly the art and science of pairing unique ingredients and flavors to create an experience … a process not unlike what he does for Pitcairn!
