About Me

I'm currently living a somewhat nomadic life, running an experimental design and make workshop. I may require rewiring.

Moving around every few years is great for meeting people, seeing new places and experiencing different ways of life; but it has its draw backs too. At some point i'll settle down on some land maybe near a river or the sea, trying to go increasingly off-grid!

But for now I'm enjoying renovating my house in Ashton and seeing what town life is all about. A challenge and an adventure. Apparently around Wigan is famous for pies, so finding a really good local one is a high priority... That and learning the language there

Always trying to put more in...

Music, Movies, and Books

Eastern infusion big band funk jazz gets me moving, but I try to listen to all sorts. When everything is out there its all about how you navigate the waters I suppose.

Its the same with reading, the things I end up reading are decided by forces beyond me, books just arrive in your lap, but I create a lot of the parameters, its a funny thing.

Like couch surfing, exposure to chance.
The things I really love are pure chaos and precision, that is also like riding a wave.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything is amazing really, but I lived and worked in India for almost a year which was a special time, I also travelled to China and back without flying, that has stook with me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Trying to learn the Violin and speak French.
I'm happy to share anything, all things start with a conversation...
Still a little young for teaching, but I try.
