I set up and ran an IT business in Mt Eden for 20 years, following a successful purchase and sale of the Ford Alloy Wheel Plant in Wiri. Now I'm retired, I'm keen to use my experience and skills to speak for our local community. I strongly believe local voices need to be heard for good decision making. I understand how to get things done, having experienced governance roles as past chair of the Western Springs College Board and founder of the Africa New Zealand Business Council. I enjoy golf at the Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club, cycling on the Western Cycleway and I'm a member of a great local seniors' fitness class. I believe in getting stuck in and working on making our place better, so I'm a rat trapper at my local park and support the Tree Council. Please vote for me and the City Vision team.
