Biography
I moved to Brimpton in 2011 with my wife, Annette and this is my first time as a Parish Councillor. I have previously served as a governor for Tadley Primary School for several years while my children attended there. I'm actively involved with Brimpton Village Hall and am also involved with the Fete this year. I started my working life as an engineering apprentice in Malvern and moved into IT in the early 80's and moved to this area in 1985. I continued to work in IT until I retired in 2016. In my younger days I spent my spare time playing rugby as a prop forward as well as helping with Annette's horses and walking dog. After I stopped playing rugby due to a major injury I took up SCUBA diving which I still enjoy. I'm still very much involved with helping Annette with her horses, looking after the grandchildren and of course walking Toast, our rescue Greyhound.

Biography
We moved to the old Post Office in Brimpton inMarch 2019 and since then most of our time has been taken up with renovating! I started my home improvement business in 1992 and we are still going strong nearly 30 years later. I have lived in Tadley, Pamber Heath, Baughurst & Aldermaston Village But now very much enjoy Brimpton. My wife Wendy and I are keen skiers and sailors, also I used to play rugby for Aldermaston for around 20 years but now enjoy watching it (it’s less painful)
