I like to walk the path of curiosity. It’s taken me to some interesting places, a career in advertising being the most gloriously chaotic one so far.

I’m a copy-based advertising creative with a hunger for life and soft spot for stupid. I believe that the pursuit of writing great stories must be balanced with the act of turning life into one great story.

When I’m not writing, I’m pursuing my passions in movement artistry, confronting my mortality in the great outdoors or lost in my favourite open world and survival games.
