Married since 1976 to Frances Victory and father to four children.  Obtained OND Business Studies and attended the Law Society College at Braboeuf Manor before working as a draughtsman and designer.  Moved to Malvern in 1986 and worked drafting Patents for private clients before setting up a business selling an invention of my own.  This business lasted until 2018.  I joined the Green Party after moving to Malvern and became Chairman.  In May 2023 I stood for election to the Worcester County Council for the Green Party, resulting in my appointment to the Board.
