I am here for Friends

About Me

At 21 years old I escaped from one country, five years later I was kicked out of another. This is a pretty good indication that my life has never been dull but an exciting journey. I was born in Liverpool, a city known for two things, The Beatles, the greatest band the world has ever known and Liverpool FC the worlds most successful football team. I have been described as honest, loyal, caring but...occasionally stubborn. Very opinionated a bit witty and rather competitive. I rode Freestyle Bikes professionally for 10-years competing with the best riders in the world and made many great friends. Upon arriving in America I produced extreme sports shows for several US cable TV Networks. I built and raced cars in the UK and I have driven for several of the major automakers in the US. I founded a drift team in 2002 called Lateral G Racing, we won the first US drift series in 04’ featured on the cover of the New York Times. I am currently the Network Manager for Octane TV responsible for all programming. I have traveled quite extensively throughout Europe, the Americas, Australasia and the Middle East. I am also a daily practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism called Diamond Way part of the Karma Kagyu Linage, my teacher is Lama Ole. This world and this life I have continues to amaze me and I feel very fortunate.

My Interests

Beautiful women that have an opinion and are not afraid to say it with confidence. I love all the creative aspects of filming and making TV shows. I like asking the tough questions, the one that's really on your mind. Getting behind the wheel of a fast car on the track. Reading books that make me think and challenge my reality. Buddhism. Quantum Physics. My Mind. The Dharma. Meditation. Nongdro. Mahamudra. Mahakala. Shooting photos with my 35mm. Surfing. Traveling to new places. Traveling home. Meeting great new people. Laughing out loud with friends. href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY2 9t" target="_blank"

I'd like to meet:

I like to meet the clever people, ones who loath the Hollywood bullshit but thrive on the business here. People who moved here and stayed because they survived the three year reality check. They duck and dive and maneuver through the day to day candy coated verbal diarrhea everyone seems to spew. People who survive the ignorance and selfishness of 10 the 405 and the 101 on a daily basis. People who are not afraid to put both fee on the floor and say, "I know what I am standing on isn't real". I want to meet people who are not afraid to be honest, even if this means disappointing someone in order to remain truthful to themselves.

Music:

Damien Rice, Tricky, Hooverphonic, Zero 7, Gnarls Barkley, Paul Oakenfold, Massive Attack, The Herbaliser, Jamiroquai, Faithless, Cold Play, Chicane, B-Tribe, Ministry of Sound, Cafe Del Mar, Rage Against The Machine, etc...

Movies:

I love a good British gangster film. The Crays, Lock Stock, Snatch, Layer Cake, plus some comedy ala...Shaun of the Dead. The new Bond Movie Casino Royal surprisingly great, loved it

Television:

If you consider me putting a DVD in to watch TV then nothing makes me laugh harder than BBC's Little Britain, Ali G, Eddie Izzard or Family Guy.

Books:

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism. Life is Fair. Entering the Diamond Way. The Great Seal. Tibet's Great Yogi-Milireapa. Quantum Mechanics for the Perplexed (errr that would be ME!)

Heroes:

My Dad (teacher and best friend) who passed in December 2001. Lama Ole and Hannah for bringing Diamond Way Buddhism from Tibet to the west and teaching all who are wise enough to listen. 16th Karmapa for teaching Lama Ole and Hannah in fact the whole Karma Kagyu linage. My amazing sister Vivien for surviving near death in snowboard accident in Chamonix, now living with a disability being a divorcee and a single parent and never ever once complaining.
