Born in Kings Langley I have lived and worked in the Dacorum area virtually all my life.

Married with two children and five grandchildren.

Employed by Kodak for 39 years finishing my career as National Sales Manager. Following early retirement continued to work as a consultant in the Retail Franchise business. Retired completely in 2013.

Moved family from Boxmoor to Glenfield, Little Heath Lane in January 1982 so have lived in Potten End for 43 years. Love the village and have been involved in the Gardening Club, in particular the years of the Open Gardens. So gardening is one of my passions as well as golf.

By joining the Parish Council I hope to help keep Potten End a ‘village’ and support villagers to create events some of which have been lost in recent years.
