He moved to Camden almost eight years ago to study Mathematics at UCL and has lived in and around the Borough ever since. Since graduating in summer 2006 he has worked for various liberal causes in and around Westminster, commuting on the number 24 bus.

Fred has worked as a field archaeologist, crew on a diving boat, postman, catering staff on a tall ship and as a mentor for troubled children. He also enjoys literature, rugby and music. He has travelled extensively, most adventurously across Russia from St Petersburg to Vladivostok by third class train when he was 18. He used to play the bagpipes but to the relief of all he has now stopped. Fred joined the Liberal Democrats because of the party's commitment to tackling inequality.
