My Name is Tom and I have been working in education for over 12 years, helping young people enjoy sport, stay active, and build confidence through physical activity. My journey began while studying for a degree in Physical Education, Youth Sport & Coaching at Staffordshire University. During that time, I worked part-time for a coaching company and quickly discovered a real passion for working with children and making PE fun, engaging, and accessible for everyone.

Since then, I've been fortunate to spend my career supporting young people through sport, creating positive experiences that help them develop new skills, grow in confidence, and most importantly, enjoy being active.

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me spending time with my partner and our two young children, who keep me very busy! I'm also a lifelong Port Vale supporter and love getting to Vale Park whenever I can. To stay active myself, I enjoy playing padel and squeezing in the occasional round of golf with friends.
