I have lived in Bucklands Beach and Pakuranga since 1991 and hold an MSc degree from the University of Auckland. A business owner in photographic and digital printing, I also bring experience from education, IT, and manufacturing sectors. I am married to Gwendolin, and we have two sons, both Macleans College graduates. I am actively involved in our community as: Neighbourhood Support Street Coordinator; Treasurer of the Glen Innes Business Association; and Deacon at our church. I will: fight for fair operating and capital funding for Howick local board; advocate for a safer neighbourhood for families in Howick; improve road and public transport safety; work to revitalize Pakuranga especially the area around Pakuranga Plaza. Please vote and support me so I can work on your behalf.
