I am married with 1 daughter and am lucky to live in the village of Bladon. I use to run a couple of hardware shops in London but with rent increases and all the travelling I gave them up and now concentrate on local government work.

My first taste was joining Bladon Parish Council in 1998 becoming chairman in 1999, I left in 2009.

In 2002 I was first elected to West Oxfordshire District Council as the ward member for Woodstock & Bladon, I was re-elected in 2004 & 2008. In 2003 I was promoted to the Cabinet with responsibility for Health & Community Safety which included implementing the new licencing regulations. I stepped down from the cabinet in 2006 but I continue as chairman of the Licensing committee and Miscellaneous Licensing committee. At the 2012 elections I lost my seat.

In 2005 I was elected to Oxfordshire County Council for the Woodstock division, I was re-elected in 2009. I was promoted to the Cabinet in 2007 with responsibility for transport, after the 2009 elections I changed portfolio to Growth & Infrastructure which covers the strategic planning for the county, waste management, environmental management, flooding, climate change and archaeology. Along with cabinet member for South Oxfordshire liaison. I was not reappointed to the cabinet in May 2011.

I relax by watching any sport and try to play golf
