I was born in Leicester and support the Tigers and the twice-relegated Foxes. I attended school in Yorkshire and university in Liverpool.

I love photography and writing.

My next writing project will be a travel book about travelling on the trains in The Netherlands and Italy plus my experiences in San Marino, Monaco, and Andorra.
