I was born and have lived most of my life here in Waikawa. My parents are Bill and Lily Reeves. I am married to Dawn McLaren and have three sons and four mokopuna. I am a qualified carpenter and in the past have run my own business quite successfully.
In the past four years I have been studying Te Reo Māori with the aim of speaking on Waikawa Marae and representing our Marae at hui. I am now in a place in my life where I feel I can contribute to my Iwi. I have a passion for all ‘things’ Māori, and have a desire for my Iwi to succeed at all levels.
