Chair
I am a Xavier College, Christchurch, alumnus and have happily volunteered in governance roles at St Pat’s for almost two decades. Professionally, I am a Detective Inspector, having served the New Zealand police force for 47 years. 

My wife Elizabeth and I both give back to St Pat’s because of the education provided to our son James during his time at the College. The events we have attended, the friends we have made and the community spirit has been fantastic.

I'm excited about the opportunities ahead for the College and encourage all parents and caregivers to get involved in some form. It is rewarding.

1970-1974
I attended the College while it was at Cambridge Terrace and have been an active member of the Old Boys' Association for many years. I've enjoyed giving back to St Pat's and was particularly proud to be part of the team that delivered the 125^th jubilee celebrations.

My background in management has provided me with a wealth of experiences across business, and I currently head an IT company.
Outside of work I enjoy golfing, mountain biking, property investment and travelling with my wife Beverley. 

1987-1991
It is great to be back at the College as an Old Boy. I am proud to be a Trustee to help ensure the future of our kura. My time at St Pat's was fantastic, the life skills and friendships I built have held me in great stead.

Life since school has seen stints in the hotel, sales, and health industries with a focus on building enduring relationships. These skills have seen me back at St Pat's, where I have been the Business Manager for the past two and a half years.

I have also enjoyed a passion for sports broadcasting, working across multiple media platforms and often alongside other former Old Boys of the College. My wife Sarah and I live in Island Bay with our sons Harry and Charlie.

1979-1983
I loved my time at the College, particularly the camaraderie and the basketball.

Since then, a son has been through St Pat's and I've been on the Board of Trustees.

My professional background has offered me much variety, having initially spent 20 years in the New Zealand Police. I then retrained to work in the IT industry and took on governance roles.

After selling our company, I'm spending time travelling with my wife Louise and enjoy riding my motorcycle.

1992-1996
I have a son in Year 11 at St Pat's and am an active part of our College rugby committee and school community.

With a professional background in technology, financial services, and professional sport, I excel in fostering teamwork and building strong relationships to deliver effective, outcome-driven solutions across various industries

1986-1990
I'm a father of two teens, with partner Stephanie, and now live in Auckland after returning home from years abroad (I do miss 'Wellington on a good day').
My working trade is as a technology exec in the world of media and casinos.

I love being re-connected with St Pats and being able to give back via the Foundation.
I enjoy travelling and while I once pretended to play rugby, the best I can now do for sport is (badly) swing a golf club. 

1986-1990
I'm a multi-generation Patrician with whānau connections beginning at the Cambridge Terrace site. More recently, my two sons have been through the College.

I work in energy sector management and bring a governance and strategic skill set to the Foundation. My primary focus is ensuring our investment portfolio delivers the College's long-term objectives, so that it thrives for the generations of Patricians to come.

Board of Proprietors Representative
I am proud to be a Trustee of the Foundation and support its important function in the College. Alongside this, I Chair the Board of Proprietors who are appointed by the Society of Mary to govern their ownership interests. 

As an Old Boy of St Patrick's Silverstream, sending our three sons to a College with a shared history, culture and values alignment was important to my wife Sam and I, and our youngest is in Year 12 here at St Pat's.
My career is in the energy sector where I have held a range of ownership, management and directorship positions.

1993-1997
Board of Trustees Representative
I look back on my St Pat's school days fondly and began my service to the College in the 90's as a prefect. As well as being a Foundation Trustee, I am Presiding Member/Chair of the Board of Trustees.

My two sons have attended the College, with the youngest now in Year 10. We share a common passion for rugby and have all enjoyed being part of the College programme over the years.
My professional background is in IT and technology in the banking sector.
