Opinion: I Want To See Our Community Thrive

Invercargill has been home for 45 years and am passionate about Invercargill and its residents – I want to see our community thrive.
We’re in a critical period of change, I want to be part of that process to leave a legacy for future generations.

For 16 years I’ve run a successful business, which I’ve been involved with many sporting and cultural events. I’m a current board member of Southland Chamber of Commerce.

I’m aware of the role that ILT has in returning profits to the community it serves, I’ve seen the impact this organisation makes.

I’ve been a school board trustee and chair; a board member and president of Cycling Southland; and have been heavily involved with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Charity Ride, which has raised thousands of dollars.

That governance experience, combined with my financial and business acumen, make me an ideal candidate to ensure ILT achieves its goals.
