Welcome to my website.

I am Windsor Herald at the College of Arms, which is the official heraldic authority for most of the Commonwealth realms. I run an independent heraldic and genealogical practice acting for private clients and organizations wishing to obtain new coats of arms or establish a right to existing arms and crests. My staff and I undertake heraldic and genealogical research for a wide variety of clients in the College’s historic records and elsewhere, including in Canada and the United States, and we specialize in cases dealing with the succession of British dignities and noble titles. Fellow heralds and I also participate in great ceremonies of state.

I previously worked at Bank of England, the central bank of the United Kingdom. My last role was as Senior Adviser in the Data Analytics & Transformation Directorate. I specialized in the legal framework governing the collection, production and sharing of confidential statistics and regulatory data for policy committees and supervisory purposes. I also led on the Bank’s engagement in international statistical fora and monitored statistical and regulatory developments in the context of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. And I served as the United Kingdom’s representative on the Statistics Committee of the European Central Bank.

I am an Adviser to the Governor-General of Antigua and Barbuda and volunteer for the Order of St John (also known as the St John Ambulance), for which I currently serve as Director of Ceremonies in Wales. I was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2021 for services to Antigua and Barbuda and a Commander of the Order of St John (CStJ) in 2023. I am a Liveryman of the Drapers’ Company and a Freeman of the International Bankers’ Company.

My academic interests lie in late medieval history and genealogy, the European colonization of North America and the American Revolutionary War.
