Chris McBride

I have lived in the Waikouaiti Coast area on and off for the last 15 years. I currently reside on a farm perched on the side of Mount Cargill and share my life with my partner and 2 young boys.

I am an operations manager at a local engineering business and have business interests in manufacturing and recycling. I have been a member of the New Zealand Army Reserve since 2007 and currently serve as a combat driver.

I do not have much time for hobbies, but I do enjoy fishing, boating and beer.

I thoroughly enjoy living in this beautiful part of the country and as a first-time Board member look forward to serving our community this triennium. I am excited by the opportunities our beautiful area holds and firmly believe with good community consultation and buy-in from the City Council we can achieve a prosperous and sustainable future.
