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.
