I have lived in Worcestershire all my life and, latterly, just downstream from Tenbury Wells for thirty years.  I am married with two adult children.

My working background was generally water industry.  I have written industry charging policy, set charges, evaluated major spending, reorganised departments and divisions and as a business consultant taken over one thousand successful cases against water and sewerage companies and acted as an expert witness in a handful of criminal cases.  I was elected as a District Councillor for the Tenbury Ward in 2023 and sit on and chair various committees.

I have been a keen sailor since 1963 in a variety of craft from sailing dinghies to cruising catamarans.  I shoot clays occasionally, tend to read economics and politics, and love our countryside and country.
