As a Mancunian, I could not pass up an opportunity to get stuck in making this city a better place to live and work.
Most of my background is in residential development and land subdivision, but more recently I have been developing knowledge in the commercial and major infrastructure sectors. I have spent half my career overseas in Australia and New Zealand, and also volunteer with the University of Sheffield and the RTPI.
The variety. No two projects are the same and there's always something new to learn or a unique way to approach a problem. It definitely keeps you on your toes.
I'm an avid traveller, having visited over 40 countries and counting. I normally skip sightseeing in favour of the nearest craft beer bar.
