Honours
Occupation
Brief CV I have lived in the borough since I met and married my wife Janice in 1995, who was already resident here since about 1983.

I am a Physics and Computing graduate of London University. I chose to join my father in the family business of Pawnbroking and Jewellery on leaving University, and ran the business with my brother until we sold it in 1999.

I now work at home writing computer software, and retain property interests in London connected with previous company activities.

My leisure activities include singing with the Ripieno Choir based in Thames Ditton, and boating on the canals where my mother and I own a narrow boat.

My main interests in becoming a councillor are in promoting means by which to improve community involvement in local decision making and knowledge of the council and community facilities, and in the planning process. I am very much still learning about what I can contribute to the local community.
