THE BIO BIT.
Story Matters
...so here's mine.
This wasn't how it was supposed to turn out.
I 'knew' I was a man of science, logic, and calculation back when I gained my Aerospace Engineering degree. It took years for me to admit I was a deeply closeted writer.
After graduating I became a management consultant, then a marketing consultant, then a freelance photographer and then ran my own corporate film making business. I told other people's stories for seven years but after a life-altering step into parenthood I had to reassess and accept my time was now limited. So, I left the business I’d built to become a stay-at-home dad and start again.
Soon after my children were in full-time education, I studied for two years and gained my Postgraduate Diploma in Journalism. Then I focused my writing skills on aviation, adventure and extreme sports.
My work can be seen online and in print for clients such as Red Bull, USHPA Pilot, and Cross Country Magazine – working as one of Cross Country's regular freelance contributors across projects in South Korea, Spain, Austria, and the UK. I've also worked as CC's online news editor in the past.
When I'm not working, I'll either be speedflying or paragliding; living the sports I write about most.
My chaotic career path of cul-de-sacs, wrong turns and scenic detours has given me a unique set of skills and perspectives: A variety of experiences that make me the writer I am.
