Laura and I first moved to Lyttelton before all the shakes, then had some respite from the shaking and the rebuilding with three years away, living on the Otago Peninsula.

We returned to our beloved Lyttelton community mid 2020. Our kids love living here as much as we do and they love Lyttelton Primary School.

I was a civil engineer, then self-employed work-from-home website designer, and now employed as a software developer for PBA Ltd.

My time working from home meant I was lucky enough to be involved with my children as they grew to primary school age.

I have worked in many different jobs in my life and have experience of several educational institutions, and even taught students myself.

My desire is to contribute to the well being and learning environment of Lyttelton Primary School students and to the wider Lyttelton community, by being on the board.
