Why I'm standing

The city was on a roll in 2019 with lots of wonderful things going on. That all went out the window during the last 2 years. I want to help deal with the issues we are facing.

About me

I think I will make a good councillor because of my community and business experience. I might be pale and male but I'm not stale.

My priorities

Growing the appeal of our district visually and functionally.
Encouraging private sector investment for future growth.
Championing the tourism sector, including arts, culture and sports.
