Born in Liverpool but bred in Stone, Staffordshire. Attended Christ Church First School, Middle School and Alleynes High School. Had a Liver Transplant in 1994 at the Birmingham Queen Elizabeth Hosptial after suffering from Liver Diease for the early part of my childhood after being diagnosed as a baby with Bilinary Atresia. John and his family are very supportive of the Liver Foundation Trust in aid of Children who have have had Liver Transplants. As well as Stone, I also grew up in North Wales as my family have a holiday home in North Wales so I was always commuting there.

Dancing
I started dancing primarily at First School in Stone, then after a several year gap to focus on my academic Education and getting some life experience I made a return to dancing knowingly this is what I wanted my life to be about and dancing is the thing I care about the most. August 2006 I enrolled at the Rooftop Studio Theatre now formely titled the Pop School and Stage Academy which is split between Stone & London. At Rooftop Studios I worked alot with Melissa Potts, Alex Mellor and Rob Lewis doing Musical Theatre courses and Hip Hop dance classes. It was March 2008 the Rooftop had a policy change and I had to re-think continuing my dance training and as my friends and dance teachers know nothing will stop me dancing. So I first became a member of Dance XChange in Birmingham, one of Birminghams premier Dance venues doing workshops, classes in musical dance, urban fusion, jazz, contemporary dancing and break dancing and being taught by Birmingham's leading dance teachers Karen Kelly, Maria Blundell, Ami Radcliffe and Shaun Cope.
Then in June 2008 I joined Sunshine Dance Studios in Manchester, it was the start of a exciting time ahead doing some of the best dance classes I have ever done. Working with my idol and good friend Nader, because of his teaching, his friendship it has made me a better dancer and he will continue to inspire me and certaintly from a dancing-angle I will always look up to him.

Childrens Charities
I've always had huge enthusiasm for helping with Childrens' Charities. Being able to protect, safeguard and keep Children safe is incredibly important and it means everything to be to have the opportunity to help people achieve just that, its one of my greatest passions besides dancing and libraries. Presently I'm a voluntary volunteer for one of the largest Childrens charities in the UK, Childine where I help them with their work and sponser them. Also I was involved with the launch of the Bobby Bear, the first cuddly toy allowed to wear a police uniform and its used to donate money to the Police's premier Childrens' charity "Child Victims of Crime". The event was held at Regents Street, in Hamleys and organised by Lisa Maxwell from The Bill & her husband Paul Jessop and Dominic Chambers.
