I am 53 years old, married to Judith, two lovely children – Jamie and Frankie, and proud to say I was born and bred in Tauranga. My past experience includes design construction, draughting, surveying, water reticulation, owner in retail business, marketing, real estate.

My major aim on Council is to listen, respect and value our community.

The top priority is to address and find an acceptable solution to our infrastructure problems of this city. (I do take particular interest in our roading). Once we have this back to an acceptable level, my aim is to be proactive and open minded for future projects to make this city second to none in New Zealand, not only for us but our future generations to enjoy. I want to help make Tauranga a city where our people feel like they belong and make sure it is affordable for them to live here and proud to call their own.
