I am an ex-teacher at Wood Green School in Witney where I taught Business and Economics for 20 years, and led on marketing and IT strategy. I have worked as a Centre Director for Teaching Technologies; at the University of Bristol; as a Development Officer for a national educational charity; and run my own events business. I moved into the Parish in September 2017 together with my wonderful wife, Sue, and our dog Rufus. Hobbies include umpiring hockey matches, walking and listening to music.
