Since the 1990s, I’ve had the good fortune to make a living from doing things that I enjoy and which I am good at – or so I have been told. Those ‘things’ resolve around journalism and other forms of writing: from long-form to short and snappy ad copy.

Before all of that, I pursued a runaway career as a musician, had a couple of near-misses with fame and fortune and picked up a few war stories along the way.

I don’t go in for personal mission statements, but there are a couple of things I believe to be true. One is that nothing is quite right, but everything’s going to be ok. Another is that you should never take yourself more seriously than your work.

I’ve written for national and international newspapers, specialist trade and business titles, and I’ve launched several publications (print and online). None of that is especially easy to share online. I’ve also lectured in PR at degree level, have been director of PR & Comms at a music-tech company, and spent a while working in-house as the head of marketing at a technology company.

This site started out as a portfolio of some of my published work. Even though it only scratches the surface, it’s too full and has lost its sense of purpose. At some point, I’ll do something about that.

Everything in this site is my work (including the images) unless it specifically says otherwise.
