My principal place of residence is in the Central Otago District Council Election area. I am also standing for Cromwell Ward.

I was born in Cromwell in 1957 and have spent most of my life here with my wife Jill. My grandfather once served as mayor of this town, and was one of the prime movers involved in the Power scheme at the Roaring Meg, I am proud to carry that legacy forward with a deep belief that Central Otago needs strong leadership and clear direction.

I’ve been involved with businesses in Cromwell and Queenstown. I bring business acumen and common-sense thinking.

The cost of living here are making it nearly impossible for young families to stay here or our grand children to ever afford a home in the place they grew up.

Central Otago deserves better.
