He graduated from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University with a bachelor's degree in social work, has long served his community as a social worker, and is a Christian. At district level he was a North District councillor at various times from 1991, serving from 1991 to 1994, 1999 to 2003 and 2007 to 2011, and was a Regional Council member from 1995 to 1999. Over many years he served the North District and wider New Territories East, focusing on the needs of families, young people, the elderly and disadvantaged groups. He was director of life education services at a counselling and social service centre, promoting life education and youth counselling and combining his social work profession with community service. In 2000 he was first elected to the Legislative Council for the New Territories East geographical constituency, serving until 2004; he was elected again in 2008 and remained in the council until 2012. Within the Democratic Party he was a member of the central committee. In 2015, after repeatedly calling publicly for the party to support the political reform package under conditions, he fell out with the party's position and in January that year was expelled by a decision of the central committee; he later became one of the founding members of a centrist grouping. In the 2016 New Territories East by-election he received 17,295 votes and was defeated.
