I am married to Christine, with two adult children Suzzane and Robert, both married and living fairly locally.

I was born and educated in Southampton and moved to Holbury in 1969 when I married Christine. I have been involved in the community as an active member of the Scout Assocition and several other groups. I have been a member of the Conservative Party for over thirty years.

I am a professional engineer working locally as Quality Environmental and Health and Safety Manager for a company producing pressings for major companies world wide.

As a Parish Councillor I am involved with Residents Against Dibden Bay Port and the New Forest Environmental committee.

I am involved in local politics because I think the Holbury and Fawley Parish area is a great place to live and I try to keep it that way.

My hobbies are scouting, motor cycling. I am boating power and sail RYA certificated to RYA 3 sailing and RYA 4 power, including planing, displacement and safety boats.

My hobbies are..DIY..if I have to and gardening on 'then only when I really have to' basis.
