About

I was born (1978) and bred in Cambridge, England. Family wise, I have two brothers (Luke and Joseph), obviously a Mum and Dad and Howie is the family dog.

I have a lovely (this will earn me brownie points) girlfriend called Ella and a puggle (cross between pug and beagle) called Gus and we live together in Cambridge.

I’m slightly obsessed with bodybuilding and fitness in general, but it’s been a rough ride and I struggled with a lack of consistency for a long period. This was mostly related to a combination of a busy, stressful work life and quite honestly my long term struggle with loving to eat and not move very much. Several things came together in early 2009 and I shed 40lbs (215lbs to 170lbs as of June 2010) whilst getting stronger and fitter along the way. The goal is now to stay lean and to increase lean muscle and strength in a steady and slow fashion – check the blog for updates.

Stuff I like to do/interests – hang out with friends, eat out, play tennis, listen to hip hop, mess around with internet technology/gadgets, holiday and relax, nice cars, buy clothes, read, self help books/audio, Larry David.

Stuff I want in the future – big farm house with some chickens, Range Rover Sport, Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 (told you I like cars), A Boston Terrier, to be 200lbs @ 10% bodyfat, to explore the world, to volunteer or make a difference to the less fortunate, to be a Dad.

Work

Most of my professional experience has been in the internet and games space and I am very familiar with internet technology and how businesses can utilize it. My strongest skills are, leadership, managing people and projects, attention to detail, delegating, strategy and quite simply just working well with people to get things done quickly and properly.

I consider myself to be naturally entrepreneurial; I love both starting things and also executing. I’m also a very honest, loyal and hardworking person and when I decide to commit to something, I get behind it 110%.
