I was born in Leamington Spa but spent my formative years in Coventry.  I have lived in Banbury since 1984.  After trying numerous ways of earning a living from factory work to working in pubs and clubs in Banbury Town Centre. 

I am a former champion boxer and kickboxer, these are sports that I competed in for 20 years.  I love Banbury to such an extent that winning the lottery wouldn't prise me away.  My main concern as a Banbury Town Councillor is youth and youth development.  I currently run a club, Spit n Sawdust, which teaches fitness and boxing.
