I moved to the Polden Hills with my wife Sandra in 2013 following a successful career in Hampshire Constabulary from which I retired as an Inspector in 2000. After the Police I ventured into sales, initially as a Sales Co-ordinator and then software sales in Basingstoke for ten years before running my own driving school for a short period.

Since retiring completely I spend my time playing golf, skittles, and snooker. I am a keen amateur photographer and was the treasurer for the Mid Somerset Camera Club.

I recently joined the The Village Hall Committee and hope to bring my organisational skills to assisting the running of events at The Village Hall.
