About Me

I have worked in Search Engine marketing for a number of years both in the UK and Australia. I have been fortunate to work for two companies that have grown significantly and into the number one in their market while i have been with them.

I love the industry, the way it is fast paced, very autonomous and you can see and feel the impact that you are making.

I love travel and reading. And one day would love to be my own boss. I love the concept of Location Independents as it just seems to make sense to me and tick all the right boxes. Im not there yet but it is something i am keen to explore.

Lastly i am about to take my first proper foray in to running a website. And will share details of this here in the near future. Hopefully i can make this a success and share the learnings along the way with people here. And hopefully pick up a few tips along the way :-)

Favorite Quote
Never say 'what if' if you are unsure about something. Do it anyway. Its better to try and fail then not to try at all. Nothing worse than saying 'what if' to yourself...
