I grew up in West Chiltington, a small country village in West Sussex where my pastimes were climbing trees and hiding in lush green bracken. I'd caddy at West Sussex Golf Course and work in my fathers greengrocer store in Petworth where I'd learn the fine art of vegetable presentation. My time at school was best spent drumming and drawing while I did learn that education can be so dull. A degree at Exeter followed, by employment at Hallmark Cards HQ before freelancing in 1991 until today. More recently my interest in photography has led to a new folio of work and the development of the creative stock company Trigger Image.
