My parents taught me the importance of paying attention to detail, to question everything, and to learn from mistakes and experiences.

Full statement

They instilled in me values of respect, fairness, politeness, tolerance and honesty.

I attended Mainholm Academy for 6 years which I enjoyed immensely. I spent the first part of my career in the Navy serving on frigates and later submarines. I then went on to spend 20 years in the offshore oil and gas sector developing and maintaining subsea infrastructure aboard various vessels. This is one of the reasons I’m keen on promoting Reform UK policies for more technical jobs and to help businesses because they all provide valued jobs and are good for the economy, benefitting us all.

I joined Reform UK as I thought mainstream parties had gone off the rails and lost sight of what most of us are feeling and are no longer representing our views. Reform UK will deal with mad net zero policies which are too stringent, stifling growth, making us less competitive and causing prices to rocket upwards. Immigration is out of control in an already full country with housing shortages. There are NHS concerns with over-the-top management and waste and an inability to retain staff including carers. We need more affordable housing to ease rents and waiting lists, more Police to police without political interference and fair justice, not this two-tier system which we have all seen emerging.

Help me to help you. Vote Reform UK on Thursday 16 October 2025 and let’s bring common sense back into politics.
