My five, five minutes of fame
I'm so famous!

Me so far…

I was born big and upside down in Dudley, West Midlands.

Apparently I was loud and outgoing when I was young. My favourite joke was: "What's red and got pips in it? A telephone box". I used to tell it to people I didn't know in doctors waiting rooms!

My other favourite was my bastardisation of the "I know an old lady who swallowed a fly" song, which I could never remember the words to, so I made a version which went: "There was an old lady… and she died!". Tee hee!

I was indifferent to school. I generally faded into the background and was a perpetual "Could try harder", C average pupil. I made some good friends but never fit into any social groups.

I've always been tall for my age and I now stand at a proud 6'7". It has been, and still is, a big part of my life, except now I love being tall whereas when I was at school I hated it.

After attending Kingswinford School I went from a photography OND, to HND, to a programming course, to an English A-level and finally to graphic design which I got my degree in at Swansea.

'Raving' may sound like a cheesy thing to do, but, 'back in the day' ('91-'94), I was heavily into it and lived for the weekend. Dancing all night to loud, repetitive music may sound like an empty existence, but it taught me many important things about life, love and the pursuit of happiness.

However, dancing like a lunatic and staying up all night is tiring and as I got older my musical and social taste began to calm down. Through an earlier love of hip-hop I got into funk music and became a DJ at Yum Yum in Swansea. I also organised my own one-off club night called Jellybean.

To get away from Swansea, I decided to move to Brighton for a summer. I loved it so much that I promised myself I would move back there. So, after finishing my degree and spending a summer in America working in the kitchen of Bucks Rock summer camp, I packed my bags and moved to Brighton, and I've been here ever since.

After taking a few crap jobs I set up my own business called Sussed Design, which produces graphic design for ethical organistaions like Viva!, People Tree and PETA REF.

I went vegetarian when I was 16 and turned vegan at 25 as my girlfriend at the time, Helen, was vegan. She explained all the issues to me and I was sold. It was difficult at first but soon became easy and now I absolutely love it. I've got some great vegan friends, live in a vegan shared-house and work for vegan clients.

Other things important to me are my dog, Juju, a rescued black lab; a carnival band I'm part of called Carnival Collective; a positive animal rights group that me and my friends are getting together called Animal (not ready just yet); DJing whenever I get the chance, which is not very often; my friends, family and generally trying to figure this life out!

Well, that's me so far!
