Living locally for over 50 years from primary school days in Rustington and retired now, my working background has been primarily in Financial Services Operational and Project Management. I am a member of Ferring Conservation Group, Ferring History Group, St. Andrew’s Church and with a connection to Ferring Baptist Church. I like to travel, especially to places of scenic or historic interest. I have enjoyed travelling in the UK, the wider European continent, Brazil and the Far East. I joined the Parish Council in 2011 when ‘Localism’ was being implemented as a key government policy with its potentially significant impact on local communities and councils. My desire was (and remains) to help protect Ferring from unsuitable developments and to support the conservation of the village. My wife, Xiaoyan, and I are passionate about our local environment and the special community and friends we share in Ferring.
