I was elected as the Member of Parliament for Rangitikei in the 2011 election.  My entry into Parliament follows a nine year career in local politics as Mayor of the Manawatu District, as well as careers in agriculture and business.

My experience includes directorships in FMG and as Chair of Farmers Mutual Finance, and Special Olympics New Zealand.

I have three adult children, Diana, Cameron and Angus, and five grandchildren. I am married to Sue, and together we run the family farming business on the edge of the Rangitikei River.

I have particular interests in sustainable agriculture, including the protection of our soil and water for future generations, and sustainable economic development for rural communities.

The three select committees that I am a member of are Law and Order, Primary Production and Regulations Review.
