Why I'm standing

I genuinely care for the residents that make up our unique part of Aotearoa, New Zealand and the positive impact I believe I can bring to this city's future.

About me

I have worked in the same industry for over 45 years. During this time, I have worked alongside people from many countries, ages, genders, creeds and gained a wealth of knowledge, experience and wisdom about a variety of things in life. My pastoral care keeps me grounded in my faith. Apart from that some trustworthy friends encouraged me by saying this is an extension of what I do already.
