I have lived and worked as a farmer all my life in Herefordshire.  I am married to Maria, who works for the NHS and we have two adult children, both educated locally.

I have been an active member of Fownhope Parish Council since 1979 and therefore consider myself well placed to represent my constituents effectively.

I am also an active supporter of the YFC movement, member of the NFU and CLA and also represent the council on the River Wye AONB joint advisory committee and the Rive Lugg Internal Drainage Board.

In my spare time! … I am a keen photographer.
