Why I'm standing
I want you to be involved and excited about Foxton, Foxton Beach and the Horowhenua District as a whole. Opportunities and challenges abound. My vision is for a thriving community that exceeds your expectations. A community where you are listened to, where your contribution is valued. A community where stuff gets done through great leadership. I get stuff done. That's why I want to be your councillor and/or your community board member.
About me
I am proud to live here. I am a proven, no-nonsense business leader and change agent. I chair the Foxton Beach Progressive Association Incorporated.

There is considerable work to be done: lifting the performance of council, managing the impacts of multiple government reforms and transformational growth and juggling the challenges of climate change and emerging technologies. I am simply the best. My time is now.
