In this age of reality TV, cheap exhibitionism and superhuman feats, is there still space for the common man? Justyn "Jup" Brown's reply is a resounding yes.
When talking about himself, the 39-year-old New Zealander says, "I'm just a plumber," even though his eclectic talent as an interpreter and ski/snowboard designer has taken him places.
More recently Brown has added long-distance running to his resume, and it is in order to put his athletic prowess to good use that he is currently in Japan.
