[email protected]

Biography:

I was born in Hartlepool in 1960. I studied Fine Art at Nottingham and then moved to Ellesmere, Shropshire where my first job was with Shropshire Museum Services. I joined the Territorial Army in Oswestry in 1984. I served both in the TA and regular Army, in the Falklands, Bosnia and Kosovo. I finished in 2006. I have lived in Ellesmere, Oswestry and Market Drayton.

My passion for politics and the community grew from a desire to help improve our local area. For the last 10 years I have worked for the NHS Ambulance service. I am a keen Rugby Union supporter, have played for Oswestry First and Second Teams, and the army Sevens team.

I joined the Town Council of Market Drayton in 2007 and served as Mayor for the Town on 2 occasions. I served on SALC (Shropshire Association of Councils) based in Wem and was their chairman for a number of years. I became very aware of the key local issues and was a facilitator in problem solving. I am extremely passionate about North Shropshire and resolving the many issues that have been ignored for far too long in the constituency.
