Charlie moved to Hamilton from Southland in 1998, and has worked as an Adjudicator and Referee in the Disputes Tribunal and Tenancy Tribunal since 1996.
Working in this area of the justice system has required a low visible political profile, but Charlie has remained committed to supporting parents and families, and in community based legal education.
Charlie is a graduate of University of Waikato, is married to Caroline, has adult children and lives in Hillcrest. He is currently a trustee of Tough Love Waikato, a charitable trust providing an internationally recognised support program for parents and teens through the difficult teenage years.
Charlie has previously held governance roles at all levels of education from kindergarten to tertiary institutes, and has a special interest in support for families, disabled and disadvantaged members of our communities.
Apart from 15 years in Justice, Charlie has worked with a wide range of people in manufacturing, transport and construction sectors, and relates well to people from all walks of life. He is passionate about grass roots democracy, social justice and enthusiastic about Hamilton’s future.
