Early life and career

Lisan was born in Fare, Huahine. He did his primary schooling in Fare, then went to college at Collége La Mennais in Papeete. Instead of going with his parents to New Caledonia, he decided to return to his native island of Huahine to manage the family business (general and fuel power supply).

He managed to diversify the business by creating a car rental company and a bakery. His passion for big game fishing led him to founding the "Fare Nui Fishing Club," and has been its chairman since it was established.

Political career

He participated in the municipal elections in March 2001 and was elected as mayor of the commune of Huahine for the 2001-2008 mandate. In May 2004, he participated in the territorial elections and was elected to be the representative of Huahine to the Territorial Assembly of French Polynesia.

He was elected again to be the mayor of Huahine in March 2014.

gollark: Factories and datacentres and stuff need power constantly.
gollark: No, we need power *constantly*, just telling people "you're using energy wrong" is not really a good solution.
