Originally born Lionel Renagi William Henry on the 21st April 1974 in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, to a Papuan mother and father of mixed English and Scottish ancestry. Auki spent the next two years growing up amongst the natives of New Guinea and travelling with family to what are still some of the most remote and sparsely inhabited wilds of the country's inner region.

Eventually moving to Darwin, capital of Australia's Northern Territory, Auki spent his formative years concentrating on education and competitive swimming, eventually representing state and country in the latter.

After graduating high school and studying Information Technology Auki followed a career in the IT industry which he still does to this day. A patriotic calling encouraged Auki to enlist part time with the Australian Army and in 2003 he completed recruit training at Kapooka and came back to the Northern Territory to serve in the specialised infantry recon unit Norforce for 8 years.

True to the need to immerse himself in a variety of interests Auki has also built secondary careers in media disciplines such as design, animation, videography, editing and web development. It was exposure to industries associated with these and a realisation that he needed to try more challenging avenues of interest that led him to doing the work he does today.

Auki currently presents and produces for north Australian motor sports media outlet HighRPM.
