Where it all began
I was born on 26th July 1993 in a place called Torquay, Devon, which in in England. I grew up there and could often be found playing football in the street in front of my house or messing around at the nearby beaches. It still remains my favourite place to be.

Why I enjoy reading and writing
My parents thought education was very important. I had to aloud read every day and wasn’t allowed to stop until it was read perfectly. I became very good at reading aloud quickly, so I could get more time to play! Later on, I trained to be a Primary School teacher and discovered I enjoyed entertaining children with poetry renditions, reading stories and even a few magic tricks.

What is happening now
I now live in Shanghai, China as an international teacher with my wife Hannah and my daughter Liliana. I have put together this website to share some of my poetry and storytelling with you. Currently, I am in the process of writing a children’s book about wishes.
