I have lived in Bristol for nearly 13 years now having moved here for work with Airbus. I met my wife whilst teaching with a local sub aqua club having enjoyed diving since I was 12. We now have a 6 year old son and enjoy camping and also sailing our small boat. We enjoy an outdoor life and during the summer work at festivals when able. Music is also a passion and we have a very diverse musical repertoire. Cycling around Bristol is also great fun and the odd skate on a half pipe.

My work involves research and testing of new aircraft solutions to ensure the impact of aviation is reduced. The future will look a lot different for travel around city’s , and between city’s, and I work with a team looking at solutions to enable this. Much of the work involves batteries and liquid hydrogen, but also research on how these new vehicles will be accepted.

My Typical Day: My current work is mostly done at home with only one or two visits to site each week. I spend a some of the day in meetings with the rest of the team, planning our work and looking at what we have to do that week. Some report writing and investigation or reading of current aerospace practices. Site visits involve looking at a test vehicle and reporting on it's progress.
