Why I'm standing

Masterton is a wonderful town. It's time for a change with a new team to represent the community properly.

About me

I have a lifetime experience of manufacturing companies employing large numbers of people with relations trusted to me. Born in Carterton, love Masterton. I have the energy as a young pensioner to lead the community. I'll be in a Rotarian member for 30-odd years got involved in local governance more recently.

My priorities
  1. Slow down rates and spending.
  2. Keep developing more cycleways around town with roundabouts.
  3. New train tracks to Palmerston North.
