I retired from my position as Advertising Manager of The Post Newspaper just over three years ago to become a full-time carer to our foster children, who both have autism and are in the long-term care of my wife, Julie and myself.

Having been on the boards of Firstchance, Early Intervention Program and Newcastle Temporary Care, I look forward to bringing experience and knowledge to the board of AFHA in the quest to make the Puzzle House dream a reality.
