As an experienced maintenance and diagnostics engineer, I’m trained to identify faults, trace causes, and deliver solutions. I’m now bringing that same hands-on, no-nonsense mindset to local government. I care about what matters most: Core Services. That means infrastructure, roads, public facilities – the essentials we all rely on and pay for. I believe in prioritising necessities over vanity projects, and backing local contractors to meet local needs – so every ratepayer dollar works harder. In my world, 'near enough' isn’t good enough – and it shouldn’t be in Council either. I’ll speak up, challenge waste, fight against bureaucracy, and push for transparency and accountability. I will be your voice at the table. No spin. No games. If you want a Councillor who will roll up their sleeves, work hard, and restore common sense to Council – I’m here to represent you. Vote WestWards for effective representation across West Auckland.
