Why I'm standing

I believe there is a great deal of unrealised potential in the Hurunui region. I want to be a part of turning that potential into a positive reality.

About me

I have a strong background in sustainability, technology and project engineering, balanced by a creative side. I listen to ideas and turn them into real world physical things.

My priorities

Grow the environmental sustainability of the region.
Ensure community facilities and organisations are adequately supported to do what they do so well.
Grow sustainable transport and working options in the region.
