My background is in design engineering. After many years working with military hardware I established my own business specialising in microbiology and environmental instrumentation which I still own and run. I live in South Acre with my wife Ruth. During six years on the Parish Council I have chaired the Finance Committee and played a part on both the Planning and Parks & Open Spaces Committees. As Chairman of the Horticultural Society, I take an interest in and try to play a part in village life. I enjoy making art and most sporting activities
