Born and raised in the UK, I started racing bikes at the age of 12, and have continued to do so (on and off) right up until now. As a cyclist I've raced all over the world in all kinds of disciplines - road and mountain bike, up and downhill, around and about. I spent a good amount of time doing odd-ball things (and winning the odd race or two), strangely this seemed to fit in well with my style.
Doing these odd-ball things, and setting odd ball records for riding, climbing, jumping fast and further than others before lead me into writing for magazines, then into taking pictures too. So since way back, when there was no such thing as the internet, I've been producing words, pictures and broadcast for the media - worldwide.
My works have made the cover of numerous books and magazines around the world, and the interiors of news papers and many more major titles - everything from cycling to travel and lifestyle titles - you'll find my work somewhere.
During this time my on-going lust for adventure has carved a kind of niche for my work - basically I'll do most things, but adventure and travel are where my passions lie, which reflects in my work. For some time I've been based in Southeast Asia, but I still get around and come up with lots of new and interesting material - and am always trying to innovate - all be it in my own way.
Having travelled and cycled in more than 50 countries I've managed to build up a huge image and material bank, which is constantly refreshed and added too. If it's words, pictures, consultation or broadcast assistance you're after then please do get in touch - I can probably help, and hopefully you'll like the slightly sideways and passionate approach I take to my work.
