ABOUT ME

I used to work as a printer and a graphic designer but that all changed when I lost my job and went travelling in South America for 6 months!! Since then I've lived in Dublin, Boston, Shanghai, Paris, St Petersburg and am currently happily living in Taiwan when Im not on tour.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people as you would like to be treated. As Oscar Wilde said "We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars" - I think I am one of the stargazers.
