Why I'm standing

Christchurch is the best city in New Zealand and Banks Peninsula is the jewel of our city. I am a product of the Peninsula, and I want to keep giving back, and I feel very well supported in doing that. We must protect what we have and help our communities to thrive among the challenges we share.

About me

I'm a father of two with experience in investment banking, social work, and small business. I hold a master's degree in social work and have served as a councillor. I bring a balanced, analytical approach and a strong work ethic. I believe in listening, acting with integrity, and delivering results that matter to our community. Residents will decide what makes a good representative, and I offer someone who's ready to keep doing the work.

My priorities
  1. Protect the port, airport, electricity and fibre networks from sale.
  2. Ensure the Akaroa wastewater scheme is fit for purpose and affordable.
  3. Maintain and protect the inner harbour route.
