About Me

• A Passion for Making a Difference - Above all, I am driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact on people's lives and promote road safety. With my enthusiasm, knowledge, and commitment to excellence, I aim to equip every student with the skills and confidence needed to become a responsible and safe driver.
• From City Life to Country Charm - Born and raised in Birmingham, I didn't encounter the countryside until I moved to Melksham 27 years ago. The transition from urban living to rural charm has given me a unique perspective on navigating different driving environments. I didn't see a real cow until I was 14 years old!
• A Diverse Career Path - Before embarking on my journey as a driving instructor, I spent 22 years working at the Avon Rubber and Cooper Tyres companies. This experience has instilled me with a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for the importance of safety on the roads.
• Family Man and Sports Enthusiast - I am a devoted family man with two children. When I'm not behind the wheel, you'll find me enjoying a game of rugby or football, either playing or cheering from the sidelines. I also take great pleasure in exploring the beautiful landscapes and historic sites offered by the National Trust.
• Choose me as your driving instructor, and embark on a journey filled with expertise, personalized attention, and a touch of humour that will make your learning experience truly unforgettable.
