I am new to the mortgage world and very keen to get my feet firmly under the table as there is so much to learn!

After parting with the Corporate World, I set up my own property company in 2004. Since purchasing my first property in 1989, I have grown a portfolio and understand what service a landlord/vendor requires from an agent.

In 2011 I founded Streets Ahead Estates and today it is one of the fastest growing Estate & Letting Agents in Derby, taking rapid market share, as we apply our considerable experience in both residential and commercial sales, lettings and property management.

Prior to Estate Agency, I was an Accountant, in the corporate world.

A landlord of over 25 years standing and eviction specialist I have become well respected in property circles. I have featured on local radio numerous times, in the newspapers and have been on national television, “Homes Under the Hammer”.

I have also mentored several investors in property, who have all gone on to replicate my success. Today I live and breathe everything property with a work ethic that is striving for success and fulfilment along the way.

I am married, with three grown up children. I live in lovely Derby, heart of the East Midlands. I am also Pastor of my local church and carry out voluntary activities in society. I enjoy playing chess and listening to classical music to relax in my spare time.
