Statement to voters

I was born to British parents in Singapore and spent my childhood across Greece and Switzerland, eventually settling in the UK for education and career.

Full statement

After completing my schooling in Geneva and Staffordshire, I pursued architecture at university in England, then changing tack to start a software development business focused on designing bespoke systems for high-profile companies. I am a father to a daughter (12) and a son (8), my wife passed from cancer in 2023. My environmental consciousness has been a lifelong journey, gradually influencing both my personal and professional choices. This evolution of awareness prompted me to engage actively in environmental advocacy, culminating in my candidacy for the Green Party in East Hampshire during the 2017 elections. Fuelled by a deep frustration with governmental inaction on environmental issues, I sought to contribute to a vision of hope and progress. I see the Green Party's platform as a beacon of optimism in these challenging times, offering policies that promise not only to alleviate the current environmental crisis but also to enhance the quality of life for individuals both in the UK and globally. The need for actionable solutions and a sustainable future has never been more critical, and I am committed to advocating for change that aligns with these principles.
