John graduated from Manchester University Dental School in 1968 and worked in General Practice until I retired in 2009.

He has been in Rotary for approximately 20 years having been in Whitefield and Hazel Grove clubs as he moved with work. He played Rugby for Old Bedians until his mid thirties then started running and joined Stockport Harriers. Over the following years he ran Marathons in London, New York, Munich and Figeac in France.

He enjoys pottering in the garden and dog walking on a regular basis.
