I have lived and worked locally all my life.

Full statement

After attending Reading School, I studied at Reading University.

I currently run my own accountancy business based in Grazeley. I set up my business because I wanted to help local businesses and local people manage their finances and build a prosperous future for themselves and their families.

I volunteer as a Governor at a local primary school and am Regional Vice Chairman for the British Judo Association. For over 20 years I have managed a community Judo programme for local children. Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my wife Laura and two young children Charlie and Izzy, along with our 3 terriers. We live in Swallowfield,

I am passionate about making our community the best possible place to live, work and raise a family. If elected, I will work hard to stand up for you..

I share the concerns of many that development is not under control. We urgently need a Local Plan to be able to stop inappropriate applications being approved on appeal and to protect our countryside.

As your elected councillor I will listen and do my best to help you, stop planning by appeal, keep weekly bin collections, have more and better road resurfacing locally and roll back the car park charge increases.

If you have any problems you need help with, want to share your views, or would like to help my campaign please contact me.
