Why I'm standing
I have been concerned for the welfare of our nation, and citizens for some time. Over the last six years I have seen governments that think they can pass any laws they like, without community consultation, or they simply ignore the voice of the people. New Zealand needs less central government, and people need to be heard. We need to protect Kiwi's basic humans rights by redefining the Bill of Rights.
About me
I am married with four adult children, and six grandchildren. My wife Ali and I have experience in community, children's and youth work, current sitting on the board of a youth charity. My vocational background includes, qualified high school teacher, tertiary tutor of architecture students and trade apprentices. I have held several management roles including a labour hire branch, and in building supplies. I have a varied background in construction, and as a project manager.
My priorities
- Listen to community needs, by establishing electorate meeting hubs for engaging with locals.
- Implement and maintain a safer and equally supportive community environment for all ages.
- Develop relationships with schools, sports, and community organizations, as well as local businesses.
