I am a husband to Irene and father to 6 adult children.

I have been involved in the agricultural sector most of my working life and am currently operating my own contract fencing business.

I am currently a trustee on the New Zealand board of Barnabas Aid.

I have been involved with Church on Vogel (CoV) for a number of years and previously held a Senior Leadership position as an Elder. In 2021 I became a trustee for the HND Community Trust because I believe this organisation can affect positive change in the community of Roslyn which is something I am keen to be a part of.
