My History
British Army
2008-2016
My commitment to public service was honed as a Regular Officer in the British Army, where I completed 2 frontline tours of Afghanistan as a Captain. During my service I completed a Masters in Strategy & Security at Exeter University and also held the position of Adjutant, a senior Captain's role. On leaving Regular Service I transferred to the Reserves where I am now a Squadron Leader in a recconaissance unit.
3Pillars Project
2016-
The lessons I learned as a leader in the Army, led me to found 3Pillars Project, a charity that rehabilitates young people in custody. We work with young people on release from prison and those drawn into County Lines in the Midlands and the South East. The charity is beacon of hope for many, and the project is direct proof that, with strong leadership and a passionate belief in change, we can create new and innovative solutions to time old problems.
