My principal place of residence is in the Mauao/Mount Maunganui General Ward area.
I have lived in Mount Maunganui for 36 years and Tauranga for 2 years before that. I am a self-employed lawyer with 38 years of experience, 31 of those on my own account. I am a Lieutenant Commander in the Royal New Zealand Navy Volunteer Reserve and have completed two overseas operational deployments and multiple domestic and international military exercises. From 2003 to 2009 I was the Chairman of the Tauranga Millennium Track Trust that organised the construction of and raised the finance for the world class athletic track at the Tauranga Domain.
I am standing to represent community organisations, the glue that binds communities together and the ratepayers.
My vision is different than that of the Commissioners. I see Tauranga as a 21st century city of interconnected villages rather than a pre 21st century city with one CBD.
