I was born and raised near Leicester, England, on 30th November 1949. I had a childhood with freedom rarely seen these days. Roaming fields and woods, normally alone, developed an interest in wildlife. Ironically this often involved blasting away at it with either a 410 scatter gun, air rifle or pistol. I was fortunate enough to study Graphic Design at art school during the late 1960's, with all the drugs, sex and Rock & Roll to be had in those times. 1970 saw me start a career in advertising. Based in and around the agencies of the west end, London. Over the years I have worked on many different and varied kinds of accounts. I am now semi-retired. But still like messing about with websites, singing with Wareham Whalers shanty crew and getting involved with local community events.

The Lodge, Knighton Hall. The house in which I was born.
