=== Personal statement ===
A mid-Essex man and a meticulous compliance, assurance and governance professional, with more
than a quarter-century of unblemished service given almost entirely to the county's public
bodies. My guiding principle is straightforward: rules exist to be followed, and
it is my job to see that they are — precisely, and to the letter. I hold no opinion on the merits
of a policy; I hold a very firm opinion on adherence to it. I have never had a finding raised
against me, and I have closed a great many raised against others.
