Born in Chippenham and moved to Compton Road with my wife Jacquie in 1988. (Jacquie has a long family history with the Parish).  We have a daugher who currently attends Hilmarton Primary School.  I work as an Area Sales Manager for Shell Oil UK.  Apart from being a Parish Councillor I am an active member of Hilmarton School Governors, a member of the PCC (Parochial Church Council) and a keen member of St Laurence Bell Ringers.  I view the whole parish as my family home and enjoy being involved in any worthy cause or activity than can add value to the community.
