New City Fresh Start                                 

 

It is now your opportunity to select people you believe can shape the future of Auckland and create an environment for your family and businesses to grow. It is your chance to make the difference, by voting for change and electing those who will defend your rights to be heard and bring transparency in Governance.  To overcome the problems that have lead to congestion on our roads, by increasing the scope of public transport and car parking where needed.

I want a strong Albany and Upper Harbour board that communicates listens and acts. I want to be part of a board that brings life to our open spaces, playing fields, parks and beaches alike and is ready to restore our rivers and creeks so they too can be enjoyed now and by future generations.

Until then my career path had been varied with starting in the health industry then the Oil Industry before becoming professional sailor that introduced me to the Tourism industry, positions that have taken me to all quarters of the world and given me the opportunity to meet people from diverse cultures and background who have intern introduced me to their cities and given me an insight on how they have developed, for better or worse

Also I have also given my time to organisation such as:
