I’ve dedicated years to serving Waiuku through charitable initiatives through the Highside project on my Karioitahi Farm. We are replanting the land and creating walkways which one day I hope to make public. My paragliding business offers ‘flight therapy’ fostering hope and connection for those with disabilities or depression.  We host young ‘Eco Warriors’ from the local school to plant on our land, giving the next generation the gift of nature connection.

I believe it's about getting the basics right. Roading, infrastructure, protecting our coastal areas and common sense. I don't have a grand vision of being NZ's next Prime Minister or desire for a local vanity project. I was honoured to be asked to stand for the local board. I'm community focused and if called will show up to fight for local voices and advocate for our amazing area. My priority is to listen to local voices and bring those voices to bare on local issues.

As an ex-Air New Zealand pilot, I honed leadership and decision-making in high-pressure settings. My architecture degree, construction and property development experience equip me to tackle planning and infrastructure challenges creatively and effectively. Everyday I'm out on the land finding solutions to problems. If I get elected onto the Franklin local board I will bring my passion for solving problems to our community everyday. I'll get it done.
