Gary has been a resident of what is now Brentford West for the last 24 years, working as a Product Manager for a software company. His children went to a local primary school, where he became the chair of Governors, as he is a passionate believer in the power of community. As a councillor he wants to preserve that community, making streets safer, cleaner, and protect them from being dominated by high-rise poor-quality housing.
