Biography

I come from Bothwell in Lanarkshire and join the Iona Community after a 30 year career in banking and then the energy industry. Most recently, I was part of Scottish Power’s Government Obligations team working to help Fuel Poor and Vulnerable customers heat their homes by installing Insulation and replacing old inefficient boilers.

I am active as a leader in the Boys’ Brigade and as an Elder at Cadzow Parish Church in Hamilton. I have recently been accepted as a Reader in Training with the Church of Scotland.

I have a long-standing connection to Iona, having holidayed there every July for about 20 years, learning to play golf on the machair. I am married to Karen and we have four sons.

what makes me laugh out loud is Terry Pratchett Books, what moves me at my deepest level is seeing young people achieve their goals
