I have been employed as an Assistant Area Warden with the National Park Authority since February 2004. My major projects for this year include improving the access along the Brynore Tramroad, part of which includes installing a 10m Bridleway bridge. I am also working closely with the police carrying out operations to help prevent illegal off-road activity.

I live in the South West of the park and enjoy hillwalking, mountain biking and natural history.
