With a rich and diverse experience from working across all sectors, I bring knowledge and expertise to every task. I have a strong track record in affecting positive change within organisations and local communities and have built extensive networks across the region. I am a driven, energetic and enthusiastic individual with a commitment to delivering results for those I work with. I also bring passion to every assignment, ensuring high standards are achieved at all times. I am a highly respected trainer and facilitator who has particular interest in research, evaluation, strategic planning, governance and sustainability. I have played a lead role in delivering a number of successful programmes on a local, sub regional and regional basis. I have exemplary oral and written skills and expertise in partnerships and interagency working. I have engaged with political structures at local and regional levels and have experience of working on a number of key policy issues. I have delivered major capital projects, managed staff teams and supported volunteers to deliver a range of innovative interventions to address poverty, disadvantage and inequality. When not working, my focus is on family life with my wife and two young children and I am a bit of an endurance junkie having completed 30+ marathons, ultra marathons, triathlons, half Ironman, full Ironman and Double Ironman distance events. My way of relaxing!
