Although I spent most of my early life living in Germany as a forces child, I have lived and worked in Cotswolds/Oxfordshire for over 15 years, I am married with two young children.

Full statement

My whole adult life has been spent in aviation, initially in the Royal Air Force as an Aircraft Engineer for over 24 years, where I have deployed all over the world on representing King and country. Latterly as a civilian licensed Engineer, working alongside RAF engineers, supporting Global Operations.

My political home has traditionally been the conservative party, however, since 2019 I changed course. The conservative party abandoned my values and beliefs as it shifts towards being Labour 2.0, by aiming to please everyone, it is obvious they are pleasing no one. I decided to stand for reform as a councillor to offer a choice away from the legacy parties.

I believe in preserving the freedoms and having honest, intelligent councillors, restoring your faith in local politics. I stand as your councillor with a promise to serve you, and not the other way around as many in authority seem to believe.
