I developed a passion for drawing and making in my youth and it seemed the natural thing to study a foundation course in Fine Art (Eastbourne College)

This led to a three year degree course in sculpture at Sheffield University. After graduating I chose to do an apprenticeship in architectural stone carving at Weymouth College, Dorset

My first job was with Treasure & Sons of Ludlow where I worked on many historic churches, houses and monuments including: Compton Verney, Hill Court, Berrington Hall, Richards Castle Church & Hampton Court.

Moving to Manchester, I began working as a freelance stonecarver with companies including Mather & Ellis, Stoneguard, Cameron Stonemasonry & Stone Central. Restoration projects include: Bury Parish Church, Bolton Clock Tower, Great Northern Railway Buildings Manchester & Bury War Memorial.

I now have my own workshop in south Manchester
