I joined the Army from school and enjoyed 20yrs serving in many theaters across the globe, I was fully tested while working in Baghdad where i was awarded the Military Cross for decision making during a complex insurgent ambush while on Route Irish back in 2005.

 

In 2008 i was asked to repressent my unit while attending a dinner at the Whitehouse in 2008, were President Bush hosted, he then gave me the Presidential seal coin for working along side the US Marines.  I am also one of the Patrons for a veterans charity known as Veterans in Action and actively campaign to raise awareness for these men and women.

 

I have now retired from active service and frequently campaign for funding for verterans mental health, i am also trying to bring about change in my own community as a local Councilor.
