Staff Profile

I have worked in green infrastructure and landscape management as a professional and project manager for over 30 years. For the last decade I have shared this background with teaching and research.  I was born and raised in North East England and have a passion for its landscapes.  I work extensively at the European and inter-continental level.  As my profile picture shows my out-of-work interest is music especially tenor sax and jazz.
