Born in the east end of London - that's the rough bit, I dreampt of being a racing driver as a kid but got sidetracked by other interests like sailing and skydiving. Nonetheless I had my crack at car racing and also won a 600cc Supersport motorcycle racing championship. Inspired by the books Shrimpy by Shane Acton and Sailing Alone Around The World by Joshua Slocumb I've been a liveaboard long distance sailor for the last decade. Now I'm back on land and getting my finances in order by selling my photography and writing. My next goal will be to launch an innovative new kind of peace campaign and hopefully make a difference and create a new force for good.

The youngest advanced skydiving instructor and Club Chief Instructor in Britain in the 1970s.
