About Me

Okay, where to start. I was born in Greenwich, London, and floated around that general area for the next 21 years of my life. Since then I've been bouncing around England, North and South, until I ended up in the City of Dreaming Spires (Oxford). Personality wise, I'm a dreamer and shaper. I like creating things, such as stories, drawings, philosophical ideals, and opinions. The things I'm currently creating are pieces of software which, in their turn, create happy staff and clients. When I'm not working, I spend the majority of my time driving (100 mile round trip to work), and when I'm not driving I'm trying my best not to grow up. I'm a practicing Karateka, attaining my black belt on 13 June 2004. I love coffee, pancakes, sushi, sweets, computer games, DVDs, videos and music. Oh god, music. I love it. I love gigs and festivals, and will forever be in love with Glastonbury – take it from me, if you haven’t been, go! It doesn’t matter what bands are playing, there’s always something to do, and a kind of timeless, stress free world that can’t be experienced anywhere else. I like thinking and listening and listening to other peoples thoughts. I like finding different ways of seeing things, even if they show my outlooks and perspective as being wrong. Are you still reading? Well, if you want to know more, send me a message.
