Why I'm standing

I am an ex police officer, naval and army chaplain and a retired Cathedral Dean still in local ministry. I see Timaru as a diamond with a heart. I hope, if elected, to make a real difference to its future. We have the Theatre Royal and Museum to look forward to with the joy of concerts on Caroline Bay.

About me

I belong to a prominent local church that has a great love of children's music. I enjoy singing and helping with local projects through my service club. I am also involved in the arts and write poetry. These all feed my heart and soul, refreshing me to use my leadership skills where they can make a difference. I believe council will be one such place.
