ABOUT ME
Creative country boy goes to London to make his fortune, realises quickly that graphic designers don't make fortunes so quit the industry after a year. Tried to keep his creativity going taking photo's for an interier design company but got told he had a bit of chat and should try and sell a flat or two. He soon took to property sales like a duck to water and loved the mix of stressful 12 hour days and doing the deal. Hitting targets for good money to make the most of being young in London, and learned a lot about sales and how the world works along the way. After 3 high pressure years decides he's going to burn out unless he slows down so joins a friends company on the property development side which ground to a hault with the market crash in late 08. Since then the town rat rented his flat bought the ticket and hasn't looked back. So here he is and life outside the bubble is looking pretty sweet. So now he realises its not all about the money honey.
PHILOSOPHY
I'm big on Smiles helping the world go round alongside kindness, consideration and good manners. That everyone is perfect the way they are and that happiness from within is what we should focus on going forward. To find the good in everyone, to let go of negative emotions and that how ever bad the world seems everything is gonna be ok! that life doesn't have to revolve around making money to buy crap we don't need. To look after the planet we're blessed with and the people in it promoting love, compassion and respect.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres
live festivals with all sorts of music styles including alternative electro/dance as love the energy it gives people. Put on some Moloko with live Trumpet or Claranet and throw some bongo's in the mix and I'm off!!!
Films Based on current affairs & documentary style are my favourites (Traffic). Any film that gives me a new perspective on life (Into the Wild/fight club), makes me laugh (old skool/slapshot), cry (Million dollar baby/schindlers list) or keep twisting until the end (momento/Butterfly effect), interests me visually (Hero/Lost in translation) or creatively (once/science of sleep).
I love travel/adventure style books and recently enjoyed Shantaram, Into the wild & The power of now. Love reading any sage from all any practise or religion.
