Daniel is proud to be from the West, after graduating from Auckland University with a Bachelor of Arts Daniel spent time in Wellington working in Parliament while studying a Bachelor of Laws.

Having completed his law studies Daniel is now living in Henderson and commutes by train each morning into Auckland CBD where he works as a consultant for a public relations firm.

Daniel brings with him excellent relationships across a variety of sectors, from central and local government right through to business.

Daniel wants West Auckland to be the first choice for young people to live, work and bring up their families. 

To achieve this will require leadership around strengthening and protecting our community, creating an affordable region to live and work in and providing the right opportunities for families to prosper.

This can only be achieved by having a strong C&R team representing you.

Daniel is also asking for your support to elect him to the Waitakere Licensing Trust. 

Voluntary organisations, are the backbone of our community. The Waitakere Licensing Trust is a great example of a positive benefit that communities gain through the many millions of dollars from Trust donations, enabling voluntary organisations and volunteers to carry on the worthwhile work that you do.

Daniel is committed to ensuring the supply of alcohol is done in a socially responsible way and will campaign for trustees to have a greater say on commercial decisions, after all the trustees are there to represent you.

Daniel wants to make a visible difference by representing you and seeks your support for election to the Waitakere Licensing Trust.
