My Highlights
Writing for virtually every national newspaper in the UK, including the Guardian, Observer, Independent, Telegraph, Mail, Express, Sunday Mirror and Mail on Sunday. I have covered everything from current affairs to international reports, martial arts to manic depression, but I specialise in health, psychology, wellbeing, fitness, relationships and parenting - especially single parents and dads.
I have interviewed hundreds of people, from major celebrities like Sir Richard Attenbrorough to Government ministers, leading sportspeople such as Tanni Grey-Thompson to scientists, academics and ordinary people with fascinating tales to tell.
I write two monthly columns, one on health and fitness and the other a humorous account of raising my 10-year-old son – a real labour of love.
And I'm a skilled copywriter, having worked for major corporations like Zurich Financial Services and Benoy, the architects behind some of the world's largest and most prestigious projects. Over a decade of top-level journalism has honed my writing skills and taught me to produce fresh, word-perfect copy to the tightest of deadlines.
