He was born in South Cumbria and has lived and worked in the area most of his life. He comes from a local farming family. His Grandfathers and Father before him were farmers.

He has recently retired from business and now concentrates on his County Council work as Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee.
