Born in London in 1955 I am a Welsh speaking Welshman who now lives in Cardiff the Welsh capital.

I’m married to Mari and we’ve 2 sons, Tomos and Tecwyn, and a great labrador dog called Ben.

I’m a great believer in the future: our past defines where we are but our future is in our hands and we can shape it. As such I look to achieving my goals in life, which are modest ones I think, and also to do something good.

It disappoints me that so many people in this world are only worried about themselves. If we all thought more about one another and the impact we can have on our world, we could all make this a far better place to live in.

Even though I’m pleased and proud of being bilingual, I must admit to being hopeless in writing in Welsh. I put it down to an English keyboard on my laptop, my wife says I’m lazy!
