My principal place of residence is in the Matua-Otūmoetai i General Ward area.
Living in Matua with my wife, two sons and daughter, I'm committed to Matua-Otūmoetai and Tauranga's future. As a player-coach at Otūmoetai Hockey Club, I value teamwork and community engagement.
With LLB(Hons)/BSc degrees, my career began as a commercial lawyer at Russell McVeagh. A decade in business and technology roles followed, within small-medium businesses including (currently) successful Tauranga startup LawVu. My strengths include analysing complex information, approaching problems from multiple perspectives and building consensus through evidence and advocacy.
My governance style is collaborative. I encourage Council to unify, based on listening to the community and evidence. Collectively, the Council should invest sensibly in Tauranga's future.
It's heartening that like-minded candidates are coming forward in 2024 with Tauranga's democracy returning. I've met inspiring candidates from other wards and believe Tauranga will elect fresh, inquisitive, hard-working councillors ready to listen and collaborate.
Together, let's ensure Tauranga remains first in quality of life!
