I am originally from Swansea, and have now lived in Fradley for 11 years. I’ve been a Conservative district councillor since 2007 for the Alrewas & Fradley ward.

I served as Chairman of Fradley and Streethay Parish Council until I took on the role of Leader at the district council in 2010, and still serve as a parish councillor. I am also a warden at St Stephens Church in Fradley.

I am the Manager of HSBCs Dudley Branch, and I’m married to Sonia, who is a Senior Premier Banking Manager at HSBC in Derby.

Sonia and I have three grown up children and I turned 50 this year.

In my spare time I plays football in a Sunday league, and I love gardening, and watching Rugby Union.
