"I have been involved in the game for approximately 35 years, ever since I started watching and playing in Birmingham [England]. I developed a passion for the game through my father, and ever since I have found many roles in the game, at all levels, from playing at local league level in the West Midlands, to officiating in the game, then starting coaching at Stoke Basketball Club/Staffordshire University at 19 years old. My experiences within my professional career as a sports development officer [at BWB] provided me with an understanding of systems and structures."
