I am an Engineer who has lived in Queenstown for over 20 years and watched as the Lakes District has grappled with the pressures of its popularity and rapid growth.

 I understand the importance of good planning and community engagement in shaping the future of our district.  Prior to joining the board, I was involved with the Shaping Our Future Transport Task Force as Deputy Chair.

I enjoy the natural beauty of the area and believe in allowing for well-planned future growth in an integrated and sustainable manner. I believe that this Board has the community’s desired outcomes at heart.

As an avid tennis player, I serve as Club VP to the Queenstown Tennis Club and am on the Boards of the Southern Lakes Tennis Association and Queenstown Lions Club.
