Early life

He was a director of Land Corp (1991–1997), and is a member of the Institute of Directors in New Zealand and the New Zealand Institute of Property Management.[1]

He joined the National Party in 1966, and has held a number of senior roles in its organisational wing. In 1994 he served briefly as the party's president, and in the 1996 election, he was the party's campaign manager.[1]
Tisch was first elected to Parliament in the 1999 election, replacing John Luxton in the electorate of Karapiro. He retained his seat in the 2002 election, when the name of the electorate was changed back to Piako. The electorate was named after a little-known river past Morrinsville, and Tisch was successful in lobbying to have the electorate renamed after the Waikato River.[2] In the 2008 election, Tisch was re-elected in the recreated Waikato seat.
He currently serves as one of the Assistant Speakers of the House, having previously served as the Deputy Speaker of the House, and is a Justice of the Peace.[1]
Awards
Tisch was one of the 3,632 recipients of the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal,[3] which he received for services to the public.[1]
