Born and bred in North Wales; after graduating from The University of Leeds with a Mining Engineering degree I spent the next seven years living and working (often four km underground) in Southern Africa. This was followed by spells living in California and London. I currently reside in beautiful Colorado, but return ‘home’ to Wales on a regular basis to visit family and soak up the magical atmosphere that is unique to the land of my birth. Proper fish and chips and CAMRA pubs serving real ale are the icing on the bara brith.
