Why I'm standing

I believe that I have skill sets and experiences that can benefit my community.

About me

I was born and raised in North Taranaki and have seen many changes. I have gained numerous experiences through running my own business (good and bad). I have been instrumental in various fund raising activities. I realize that you will not be able to please everyone and at times you must make a decision that benefits the greater community.
