Tēnā koutou,

I'm standing for re-election after having completed my first 3-year term as a Board of Trustees member at Green Bay School. Having been responsible for the property portfolio, I'm really proud of the Boards' engagement with the community that resulted in the construction of the new junior playground. I'm keen to continue our collaborative team approach to deliver many other strategic goals and property projects that are in the pipeline.

I offer to the broader school community my governance experience as a past-Board of Trustees member, and also my previous IPENZ board roles (now Engineering NZ). These Board roles have provided me with governance skills in Strategic Planning & Delivery, Audit & Risk, Organisational Restructure, Competency Assessment & Financial Reporting.

My wife Rachel and I have an 8yr old Son (Cohen) and a 5yr old Daughter (Adelaide) at Green Bay Primary. Our family also includes our 11-year-old Golden Retriever, and together we generally enjoy anything outdoors or near the water.

I am a Chartered Professional Engineer currently employed in the construction sector for a tier 1 main contractor, working specifically in building systems and services for large scale commercial construction projects. I believe my skills and experience have a positive impact on the learning environment and future direction for all students & staff at Green Bay School.
