About Me

Originally born in Nottingham, I moved to Derby for university and then to Staines, Middlesex when I got married. I live with my wife Hannah, a trainee accountant, and no children. I have been interested in acting and writing since an early age and can't imagine doing anything else. Whilst in Derby I helped found the Trade Secrets Theatre company which still runs successfully today.
