Background

I’ve been working as a creative professional since 1999, first in London for SSM Freeports & Chilli Media working primarily with action / lifestyle sports like surfing, skateboarding, BMX, MTB etc aswell as mainstream media such as the Pepsi Chart Show (weird mix I know).  Soon after I went to work for Freewheelin’ Media and Clown Skateboards, working across the board on creative projects for the likes of  Hip Hop magazine, Converse and  The United Nations.  After a long tour of duty in London I relocated to Bristol, working freelance and on my own brands and projects.

Other than my lovely family, my main passions other than work, are BMX, art, old motorcycles, surfing, the wilderness and the woods, folklore and Black Sabbath.

I’m a gun for hire, please get in touch to say hello.
