After a 15-year career in IT and project management, I took a break in 2011 to study for a degree and to look after my young family. After working as Coventry's only male childminder and gaining a 2:1 Honours degree in IT and Computing, I trained to become a teacher on the Schools Direct scheme based at Warwick University.

After completing my training, I started at Manor Park in 2016. No two dates in the classroom are the same, and I feel extremely privileged to a part of such a dedicated, supportive, and hardworking team.

Away from school, I help coach the Under 13's rugby team at Kenilworth RFC and love all things rugby related, especially Northampton Saints and Wales. I am also a long-suffering supporter of Swansea city.

I have recently been appointed to the role of staff Governor and I'm very much looking forward to being involved with a different element of school life.
