Why I'm standing

I'm in love with the community and the region which has been a core part of my life for over 30 years and feel it is time I gave back to the community through the act of standing up to represent it on the local government level. I don't care for politics but find the processes of local government fascinating and would like to contribute where I can.

About me

I have a unique background and skill set in account management, sales, software development and support. I create and foster new relationships, mentor new businesses and problem solve on a daily basis in my current job. I am an active member in the local community and am very proud to live in Little River and raise my family here. I am a pragmatic and results driven individual that will put our community first wherever possible.

My priorities
  1. Ensure Wairewa remains strongly represented and has a strong voice at the council level.
  2. Preserve and foster what makes our local community and environment unique and special.
  3. Champion the community and help its residents flourish and have opportunities.
