Here for You

I’m proud to have served my country for nearly twenty years in the British Army. A career that shaped the foundations of my character and deeply instilled the values I live by today: integrity, honesty, loyalty, selfless commitment, resilience, and leadership.

During my time as a reconnaissance soldier in The Life Guards, The Household Cavalry, I deployed to some of the most challenging environments on earth, including Iraq and Afghanistan. I lost close friends in both theatres of war, however one day in particular changed my life forever. 

Whilst serving as part of the initial task force in Helmand Province Afghanistan 2006, and whilst trapped inside a ferocious enemy ambush, three of my colleagues were killed just metres in front of me. A fourth man, gravely wounded and trapped under fire, around 70 metres away from my position, was still alive. Fighting through the heavy gunfire from the Taliban, I reached him, lifted him onto my shoulders, and carried him out back through the ambush. That day, I was awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, the second-highest recognition for bravery in combat. 

For me, the real honour was knowing I had upheld the values that i’d been trained to live by, and that a man was alive because of my actions.

Those same values guide me today in public life. As an active local campaigner, I’m committed to standing up for the people of my local parish, the division, and The Wrekin constituency. I know what real service and leadership looks like, and its not about career politics or point-scoring, it’s about action, accountability, and making sure every voice is heard.

Whether it’s tackling local infrastructure issues, defending our farming communities, the countryside, fighting for better services, or simply standing up to those in power who aren’t acting in your best interest, I will be your voice. I will write the letters, make the calls, and challenge the councillors, MPs, and authorities whenever necessary.

No task is too big or too small. I will take on anyone in the council or government who forgets who they serve: you.

My work as a parish councillor, and as the opposition holding the current county councillor’s to account, is only the beginning. I’m here to fight for your concerns, your community, and your future.

It is my future aim at the next General Election, to finally give you an MP who works for the people.

The Wrekin is home to some of the most beautiful parts of England. It’s our duty to protect it, for us, and for generations to come.
