A bit about me.....

I have a Youth Work background and have worked and/or lived Middleton for the last 35 years. I met my wife here and we were married at St. Michael's Church on Townley Street.

We have four children, all of whom live in Middleton - they were Christened at St. Michael's Church and they all attended Elmwood Primary and Middleton Technology Schools.

I now have three Grandchildren who all live in Middleton..... I adore them and they make me happy every time I see them.

As a family we run a Coffee Bar and a Florist business in Middleton and I have been part of Middleton Round Table for around six years, currently holding the position of Honorary President, where I (as part of Middleton Round Table) have been involved in organising, running and/or working at many yearly Middleton events, such as Midd-Fest, May-Day and Oktober-Fest.

As you can see, my family and I are committed to Middleton and all we want is to see Middleton thrive as a town and as a community..... the future is in our hands.

Its very simple, if I'm elected and with your help and backing, working together, we can try to make a difference.
