I was born in Frankwell Shrewsbury in the County of Shropshire in February 1962. We are known locally as Salopians who derive from that county. I was a council house kid who left Shrewsbury to join the Junior Leaders Regiment, Royal Armoured Corps in 1978. In September 1979 I was badged to a Regiment called 1st the Queens Dragoon Guards, a cavalry tank regiment. I spent over 10 years in the armed forces, and over four years linked to the Royal Army Veterinary Corps working with Arms Explosives Search Dogs known as Wagtails, after which time I moved into England's Ministry of Justice, working for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Prison service. I spent over twenty years serving operationally as a prison officer working my way up through the various grades to become a deputy governor. I now live in the county of Staffordshire and have been living in this area for the last 16 years.
