Why I'm standing
Christchurch is the best city in New Zealand and Banks Peninsula is the jewel of our city. I am a product of the Peninsula, and I want to keep giving back, and I feel very well supported in doing that. We must protect what we have and help our communities to thrive among the challenges we share.
About me
I'm a father of two with experience in investment banking, social work, and small business. I hold a master's degree in social work and have served as a councillor. I bring a balanced, analytical approach and a strong work ethic. I believe in listening, acting with integrity, and delivering results that matter to our community. Residents will decide what makes a good representative, and I offer someone who's ready to keep doing the work.
My priorities
- Protect the port, airport, electricity and fibre networks from sale.
- Ensure the Akaroa wastewater scheme is fit for purpose and affordable.
- Maintain and protect the inner harbour route.
