I was born in Hamilton City and have spent most of my life in Hamilton and the wider Waikato Region. My career path has been one of a scientist, qualified in biology and chemistry. During the height of the COVID-19 crisis, I lectured engineering students in materials science at the University. Currently, I am a consultant scientist, investigator, writer, and editor.
I bring research skill and capabilities for critical thinking. I can handle large quantities of information. Having a more traditional approach to science, I strive for objectivity when assessing situations.
I can analyse complex problems and not panic in a crisis. I can be fair, reasonable, practical, and use common sense, while bringing a willingness to strongly challenge the local government bureaucracy at multiple levels.
I believe in leading by example instead of coercion, with a willingness to let others exercise their rights to self-determination. I oppose the authorities using punishment and coercion to impose their political agendas on people’s private lives and relatively harmless activities.
