Date of Birth: 8th August 1980
Location: A village called Groby in Leicestershire
Whasssup?:
Last June, I completed my BA (Hons) degree in Town and Country Planning at the University of the West of England, Bristol.
I got a 2.1 for my degree. I was awarded two prizes; the Building Prize for an outstanding dissertation and the 'Ede
& Ravenscroft Prize for Outstanding Personal Achievement 2002/2003", which was an award open to all students at the university.
I am now doing the fourth and final year of the four-year town planning programme; Master of Town Planning (MTP). I
will be taking part of the Erasmus exchange programme where I will be studying at the University of Nijmgen in the Netherlands
for six months from January 2004. And last year, I spent two months in Ghana, West Africa doing voluntary work as part
of the National Deaf Children's Society - Jack Ashley Millennium Awards Scheme. I was granted the Fellowship of the
Millennium Awards. Cool eh?!
Ambition: I want to be an international hearing-impaired star!
DELTA:
DELTA was founded in 1980 and I have been involved with them ever since (so I have been told). I remember when
I was a little boy my mum used to take me (and my sister) to strange places for a day or days - and there were children who
were deaf just like me and she would leave me with them (she was giving talks to parents etc). It wasn't when around
1996 when I came (back from the 'dead') to help out at DELTA's Loughborough Summer School that I have been helping out at
DELTA ever since then.... I made some new deaf friends ever since.

DELTA:
Have been helping with DELTA Summer Schools since 1999. This gave me the opportunity to meet other deaf people
like myself and made new deaf friends. Have recently started to help out with other events that delta have orgainsed.
I enjoy helping out with delta looking after children and meeting the parents to chat about my achievements etc. as a hearing
