Colin left the legal profession in 2000 and retrained as a Financial Adviser.

He has grown up with a football background, playing for Brentford FC between the ages of 12 and 16. Semi-professional football followed until he joined QPR at the age of 18, playing for the club until he was 20. He returned to semi-professional football, playing until he was 36.

During that time Colin undertook a number of high profile divorce matters as a family lawyer.

“Whole Persons are engaged in a lifetime quest to achieve balance and congruity in all aspects of their lives and continually seek to develop their full human potential”.
