I am also very involved in the local community with my charity work which I thoroughly enjoy.

• As Funding Co-ordinator for the Millennium Track Trust we saw a world class all weather athletics track built at Tauranga Domain. 
• I formed the Tauranga RDA Arena Charitable Trust as Chairman organizing funding and build of a much needed arena.
• In 2007 I was awarded Supreme Winner of the Tauranga Community Spirit Award for my various Charitable Auctions and was very humbled to be awared the QSM for services to the Community in 2011.

My philosophy is ‘Helping people to help themselves’
