My foundation and background is that I was a Chef for many years working in some lovely places around the world. I get great satisfaction from working hard, I believe I have a good work ethic and I am able to work alone or as part of a team.

Prioritise for me is having a happy strong team with a healthy environment to work in, I recently organised a team event for 35 members of staff at a local spa hotel which was very well received.

In my spare time I volunteer around 10 hours a week working for the Ambulance service as a Community First Responder. I get great satisfaction and personal pride in helping others and offering a lifesaving skill back to the community in which I live.

In the past I have renovated my house which has enabled me to learn new skills such as building, plastering, electrics and plumbing I am quite a practical individual with a can do attitude.

I share 2 children, Samuel and Holly with my wife Anita. We live in a small farming town in Devon called South Molton where we are very much involved in community events.

My hobbies include kitesurfing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, roller hockey and sailing. In 2015 I broke a world record with Richard Branston, I was part of a team that kitesurfed from Hayling island to Lancing which got into the Guinness Book Of Records .

My responcibility was to deal with victims of crime and to come up with strategies to support local youth engagements. I built links with other agencies to improve people's security, improve youth centers and to minimise crime. During my time as a PCSO i secured funding to build a youth shelter, and created Tag Rugby teams for primary school children in a small village where there was very little to do after school. I came up with deterants such as Selecta Mark, which is a way of marking your valuable property which acts as a preventative, this system is still being used amongst the faming community where I worked. A lot of the time I worked on my own dealing with confrontational situations and neighbourhood disputes but I was able to defuse situations without escalation

Kitesurfing

This is my main hobby since 2000, in that time I have kitsurfed all over the world and most of uk. I am also a qualified instructor in the sport but this was mainly to build my inner knowledge of the sport rather than to teach it. In 2013 with Richard Branston I broke a world record.

building

I have no building qualification but I have refurbished 2 houses and altered the internal and exterior layout of both properties. My most recent build was a 30 sq meter dorma with ensuite which I built form start to finish learning skills like construction, wiring, plumbing and plastering. The build was certificated and passed planning and building control.
