Why I'm standing

I have had a great life and am now in a position to give something back to a community that has been good to me.

About me

I love NZ and the Waikato. I feel blessed to live here. I have gained a lot of experience in management and have worked in a number of successful businesses. I would like to use this experience to help in our community. I feel that good local governance is key in maintaining healthy productive communities.

My priorities
  1. Manage our waste better, reduce what is going to landfill and stop exporting our plastic waste.
  2. Encourage walking and cycling, get kids back on bikes for their long term health and wellbeing.
  3. Continue to build and develop supportive, inclusive local communties that people want to live in.
