About Me
I'm a 25 year old with a Masters in Sports Journalism and a BA (Hons) in Business.
But that's the boring bit...
I'm married, I have a son and I'm a surfer from Newquay, Cornwall.
I try to be amusing with the articles that I write, engaging with the social media content that I manage and I do look pretty great in a bow tie.
But only you can truly be the judge of that...

Education
MA Sports Journalism
University of Lincoln

A year crammed full of every aspect of journalism from writing for print, to co-hosting a sports radio show. The diversity of the course kept me out of my comfort zone and helped to professionalise my writing style. Even if I have ignored almost every principle since...
BA (Hons) Business Administration
University of Plymouth
2014 / SEP
A rounded education of the fundamentals of Business. The course included a wide range of subjects from accounting to entrepreneurship and everything else in between. Not every topic played to my strengths but the importance of group work, and the professional attitude of the course will always stick with me.
