I qualified from the Leeds Dental Institute in 1997 and after completing my VDP year in East Yorkshire I returned to my hometown of Manchester. Following various associate positions, I opened a squat practice in 2005.

I have been an Educational Supervisor for 13 consecutive years and only recently gave this up to concentrate on my practice.

I am an Approved Mentor for Health Education North-West.

I have a keen interest in all aspects of dentistry, have an interest in non-surgical facial aesthetics, wrinkle softening techniques and dermal fillers, and I am committed to continuing professional education.

I hold a Teaching & Learning Certificate from the University of Central Lancashire.

I am also a current member and past chairman of the East Lancashire Local Dental Committee.

Outside of work, l spends most of my time with my wife and daughter. Any free time is spent cycling or watching Manchester City.
