I was born in London and have lived in Uppingham for over 18 years with my wife and daughter.

I started working life trained as an engineer and finally before retiring I worked for a large multi-national in a senior executive international business position. Since retiring I have got involved with local charities and have had a number of hands on volunteering roles with them.

I love golf and recently was successful in developing and expanding junior golf at our local golf club.

Uppingham has given me a lot in the 18 years we have lived here and by becoming a councillor I hope to be able to give something back to the town and its people.
