Biography

I am a Chartered Building Surveyor working as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Portsmouth.
I have been involved with buildings and the property profession all of my working life. Prior to joining the University I ran by own building consultancy, specialising in commercial energy assessment and building defect diagnosis.
My previous work experience included being an academic at the University of Westminster, building surveying with multi-disciplinary practices in London and with the NHS in Bristol. I have also worked as a project manager and freelance commercial video producer.
I am currently teaching subjects which involve construction technology, sustainability, building defect analysis and diagnosis, and professional practice.
