Why I'm standing

I love the outdoor life Botany offers including the bush walks, close distance to beaches and waterways, and have a passion to preserve the natural beauty of Botany's environment, landscapes and water resources.

About me

I am currently chairman for the board of trustees of a not-for-profit organisation that enables me to have an ear for people to voice their concerns. This position requires timely decisions, financial stewardship and efficient leadership, all of which I attribute to my own character. I am for the people of Botany.

My priorities

Transparency towards people of Botany within the local governing bodies is most important.
Heart for people, with an open ear to listen, including quick decisive responses.
Facilitate community involvement in preserving the natural habitat of Botany for our next generation.
