This is My Story
I have lived and worked in Guernsey for 50 years, in fact for 96% of my life!I went to school in St Peter Port for 12 years of my life and these early formative years gave me a good impression of the Parish.
I attended University in Scotland, obtaining an Honours degree in Philosophy.
I was a self-employed gardener for approximately 20 years. I struggled against adversity for many years, but with the help of my friends and family made an existence for myself. Although I had some advantages in early life, I have worked hard and always strived to achieve my best, putting ‘means’ above ‘ends’.
I have worked in the finance industry since 2015.
I have lived in St Peter Port parish since 2017.
I was successfully elected to St Peter Port douzaine in July 2021, resigning in January 2025 to pursue my studies.
I am passionate about Guernsey, and have done much volunteering and charity work over the years.
I am keen on the environment, and want to protect it from destruction.
I believe in a healthy balance of old and new.
I am keen on due process and have enjoyed participating in many discussions and debates over the past years, including the Waste Debate.
I am an enthusiastic motorcyclist, and a bicycle rider.
I helped with the 2023 Island Games in a back-office support role. I think the Games was a very good thing for the whole island. I was also involved with the hands-on stewarding / marshalling at the cycling and shooting events, and also on car park duty. I gave my best to the Island.
I have attended many meetings, met with parish members and States’ officials to discuss things, and been present at ceremonies and other important events.
I have spoken with many people and have put their viewpoints forward at meetings to ensure their voice is heard, and argued their case, before my own particular agenda.
I have tenacity, diligence, stamina, drive, good morals, integrity, analytical and reasoning skills to continue to offer the Island.
I am a careful listener, caring and empathetic, honest to a fault, and not afraid of hard or dirty work.
I hope you will vote for me in the 2025 island-wide elections on the 18th June for Deputy in the States of Guernsey.
