Why I'm standing

My life's guide is service before self, a legacy of my parent's values. I joined the NZ Army at 17 and spent 25 years in the military, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. This was followed by 7 years as a complex environment specialist, a job that helps countries that have undergone conflict rebuild their nation. On my return I have directed my skills to disaster relief management in the South Pacific.

About me

My life has been about making decisions and making the 'hard right over the easy' and I have a compassion to live the life I wanted in the Banks Peninsula of natural beauty and vision of our earth mother to live in harmony.

My priorities
  1. Speed up council decision making and reduce rates. ​
  2. Get companion dogs on buses.
  3. Get our water back to the world class level it was.
