Born in the Sheffield Area and locally educated at Brinsworth and Woodhouse Grammar School.

In my younger years I was interested in sport and I played Football, Cricket and ‘Running’ for local teams and at School. However I was always interested in the ‘weather’ and on leaving school with enough GCE’s I joined the Meteorological Office at Bawtry, Doncaster.  I served alongside the RAF at many stations, in forecasting and observing roles within the UK and overseas, including Cranwell, Strike Command and in Lincolnshire. I met my wife Susan whilst working in the Louth area; where our children were born.

 

We have had many years of happy family life and now have 6 grand-children.  One of my interests is to see that the young people of today are well-cared for and can make a satisfying and effective contribution in their lives.

 

In the late 70,s I moved to Met Office HQ at Bracknell where I did many tasks including managing the ITV Weather and projects for International Civil Aviation.  I came to live full-time in Sleaford in 1999 and became Mayor in 2011 having served on the Council since 2003.
