I am a Commercial Solicitor, having trained and qualified with one of the largest private sector employers in the North West. I have worked in senior leadership roles for various local, national and international businesses in the IT sector for the last 10 years, primarily advising organisations on the sale and procurement of complex technology solutions.

I am married to Chrissi, a primary school teacher; we have two children and live near Preston. Outside of work and family commitments, I am a regular runner and an occasional singer.
