I grew up in the Norwich area, but have lived in Costessey for the last twenty years with my wife Elizabeth. I am a registered mental health nurse and currently work within the NHS as a Team Leader managing an older adult community mental health & Dementia team, which provides care to service users within Norwich and the North of the County including Costessey. I have always been interested in politics both nationally and locally, but decided to run for council particularly due to my work within the NHS and thought my knowledge and experience would be a benefit to the local area, but also due to my own social equality beliefs and a desire to improve environmental issues. I enjoy walking my two terriers and looking after several bee hives which I find to be a very mindful activity and very interesting, along with being an electric car fan. I look forward to meeting any residents, answering questions and helping where I can at both Town Council level and in my District Councillor role.
