Why I'm standing

I want to contribute back to the city I proudly call home and to make it truly world-class. Another reason that propelled me to run for council is the erosion of democracy. We should make our own decisions on areas that we have the best knowledge on.

About me

I have never left the garden city ever since I arrived here 28 years ago. I have founded two resilient companies 15 years ago that have equipped me with business and political acumen. I believe action speaks louder than words so I'll type no more.

My priorities
  1. Keep rates low.
  2. Protect local democracy.
  3. Get the basics done, and better, eg flooding, roads and footpaths.
Before politics
