I have had a passion for agriculture from a young age and followed this by studying Agriculture at the University of Nottingham for four years including an industrial placement year in Norfolk.

I am now the farm manager for Brackenburgh Home Farms in Cumbria, a farm which surrounds where I grew up and where I have helped out at for many years. This is a varied role overseeing 2000 acres comprising a dairy herd, sheep flock, arable and a small beef herd as well as an extensive agri-environmental scheme.

When not working I enjoy attending young farmers and spending time training my young collie dog.
