About me
I have been married since 1993, and am the father of two boys in their mid-twenties.
As a parent I am very aware of the importance of family health, and the relevance of Osteopathy to all aspects of family life from infants to the elderly.
I have held position on the Osteopathic Advisory Committee and with the International Society of Osteopathic Practitioners, of which I have been vice president.

A highlight for me was being a provider for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing China.
