Many generations of my family attended Greg’s. This strong pedigree is illustrated by my father finishing at Greg’s and temporarily returning there to teach after his A levels.
After leaving Greg’s I attended Downside School, Bath, England, and became a double Old Gregorian on leaving there.
At present, I am In House Counsel and Compliance Office for Apex Resources Ltd, a construction employment agency, T4M Agritec Ltd, and several other Companies. I’m a freelance solicitor in a solicitors firm where I do immigration, employment, family and litigation work and I also work as an independent self-employed solicitor.
I run and own some businesses.
I enjoy travelling, football, rugby, motor racing, exercising/wellbeing activities. Stock picking, having an eye for business and using my legal skills to help the vulnerable and disadvantaged to be reunited with their families etc, where others have given then no chance, are a few of my passions.
