I moved to Warwick in 2006 and shortly afterwards married my late wife. We joined St Nicholas Church having received a very  warm, friendly welcome. It helped us so much as we quickly became part of the church family.

My career was in civil and military engineering (in the Royal Engineers) – a career that took me to many parts of the world: Europe, the Far East, America and even St Helena!
