Born in Auckland I am an experienced senior manager who has managed the liquor licensing function for Councils and developed liquor accords to promote the responsible sale and consumption of liquor. I am committed to maximizing community benefit from the return of surplus profits back to the community. I am based in Mount Albert and currently practice as a resource management consultant and hearing commissioner. I have experience working with community groups which seek to improve community welfare. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce and Master of Regional & Resource Planning degree.
