Presenters

A few years ago I was knocked off my bike and sustained rather nasty injuries. The money I received after the crash was spent funding my postgraduate diploma in broadcast journalism at the University of Central England in 1993.

I'm happy to say I'm now fully recovered and have never looked back since. After working for the BBC in Coventry, Wiltshire, Somerset, Bristol, and Nottingham, I eventually ended up in Leicester.

I stayed there for four years. While working for the radio newsroom at Television Centre I was offered the wonderful opportunity of working for South East Today. It took me two seconds to accept the position.

I know the area quite well because my wife went to school in Tunbridge Wells.

I love the area. It's so beautiful and full of character. If I was being very honest I do miss not living in a rugby town. Having played for Bath and Leicester rugby clubs I've been rather spoilt in that area.

When I'm not gathering the news for you, I enjoy playing golf. I have two daughters and a very stupid but affectionate Irish terrier acquired while on holiday in County Wexford.
