About me

I live in the south of the lovely city of Bristol, with my wife, son and 2 cats. I am an unashamed geek, living and breathing digital technology. I am a regular contributor to underscore - a very active mailing list for new media professionals in the Bristol and Bath area. To keep a balance on things I am also dabble in guitars and skateboarding. I mix business with pleasure by running a skateboarding blog called “Too Old To Skate”.
