The Mac family - me, Jess, Tom, Bridget and Kate
A bit about me
I grew up on a farm in Waimārama, attended Massey University where I attained a Commerce degree and like many of us, flew the coop in my early twenties to do my OE. Since then, I have lived in several New Zealand cities, but the Bay is by far the best and my family - wife Bridget, and children Kate, Jess and Tom - returned here in 2007 and this is home.

Community and sport
I am a strong believer in community engagement and sports participation and have served on several school boards.
I was a coach at the Hawke’s Bay Rowing Club for 10 years and am currently a Director of Rowing New Zealand. Our daughters Kate and Jess have been active with Waimārama and Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving clubs and our son Tom was part of the successful NZ Rowing Eight who won Gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
“...we had a great team and we made things happen. I intend to bring that same philosophy to the Regional Council.”

Work
My first job was exporting honey with Arataki Honey and subsequently I worked in marketing and communications, mainly in Wellington, before I settled here in Hawke’s Bay.
For the last 12 years I have been CEO at Mitre 10 Sports Park. It was a green paddock when we started and we certainly faced some initial hurdles, but it is on a roll now and we have world class facilities. Like all successful projects, we had a great team and we made things happen. I intend to bring that same philosophy to the Regional Council.
