I came to Maldon after growing up in Kenya.  With plentiful access to big skies and abundant wildlife its no surprise that the environment has played a huge part in my life.  All my working life has been connected to nature, the environment or youth and I am thrilled that my local community now has  a group where like minded people can share and learn as well as make a positive difference.  

I have been a member of HMCAP since September 2024, and was very pleased to join such a great group of friendly, knowledgeable, active and positive people. My particular interest is in climate change, and the problems caused by a rapidly heating planet. I wrote an essay on this subject in 1992 whilst at university as a mature student. The issues shown in that work make it clear that the world has known about them for a very long time. 

A life-long birdwatcher, I moved to Maldon with my family over twenty years ago and quickly realised that appreciating the local wildlife was a perfect antidote to my day job in the car industry! I now work part time as a consultant for companies engaged in sustainable technologies.

I recently completed writing and publishing my first book “Wildlife of Maldon” to spread awareness of the nature on our doorstep and am now focused on doing what I can to help protect our special habitats and the biodiversity they support.
