“The hardest thing in the world to do is to write straight honest prose on human beings. First you to know the subject; then you have to know how to write. Both take a lifetime to learn...”
― Ernest Hemingway
​
I am not a writer, but I am me. so I should know about myself... Right?
Early Life
Born in January 2000 in a village outside of Rugeley, UK I grew up with my Brother George and Mum and Dad.
I went to the local primary school until I was 9 years old when, after being made redundant, my farther bought a motorhome and took me and my brother out of school and we drove around Europe for a year.
Europe
From 2009 to 2010 we drove around the cost of Europe visiting France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and more! I remember seeing so many amazing things - and even though my memory fails me on some of the finer details I remember some amazing times; Disney land, Skiing in the Alps, Christmas in the Algarve, My 10th birthday in Barcelona, My dad paragliding of Mt Etna, sailing around the Greek islands
I honestly could write a book about our adventures but the one thing it did do was give me the itch to travel...
High school Years
After the trip we moved to Prestbury, UK to be closer to my dads parents, a nice house on the edge of the village me and my brother where thrown into a new school and system as we entered high school.
A thousand TV shows describing peoples school experiences will never be able to cover everyone's time in education, there where highs and lows like any life. I made mistakes, regret how I left things with some people but I still look back fondly on the good times, the friends I made along the way - Some I still talk to, more who have drifted away. There is a simple nostalgia thinking back to the times sitting in a field on a spring day drinking beers stolen from someones dad. Simple Times.
​
During this time I started working for Tecnikk Computers, a local computer repair store which I would work for for almost 10 years and would go on to continue working for them after Uni
​
I excelled at Electronics and Computer science during school and got into acting in my later years, preforming in many local plays and winning an award for one of my performances!
Given my affinity for Computers and Electronics it was only natural I chose to pursue film making and theatre...
They say Hind sight is 20/20 but damn, even today I fail to see my logic
At A level I took Electronics, Physics, Media studies and Theatre studies
At the end of my first year I realized that film wasn't to me so I had to pivot, I realized I wanted to make robots and to do that at uni I needed Computer Science as a subject so in my second year I dropped Theatre studies and Physics and took both years of Comp Sci in one year eventually getting the grades I needed to be accepted into University
I am Grateful to my teachers during this time as some really where a rock for me and I really don't know if they know how much they have effected my life but for all they did I will always be thankful.

For some reason there is always so much to talk about during these short years and I will never cover it all in a 'short' paragraph, glossing over my time in scouts/explorers, Ex's, Funerals, Weddings. There is always more stories to tell
University
Aberyswyth University in wales is where I did my degree in Robotics and AI, Graduating in late 2021 despite being locked in a room for half of my time due to COVID 19.
During this time I met loads of great people, tried things that I had never before, found a love for true nerd shit like D&D, became the President of a Cocktail l Society and brought it from a new society to one of the biggest on campus, learnt to cook (or starve)
University was a whirlwind, even now looking back it all bleeds together - even the nights I don't remember. but if there was one thing that the Corona Virus showed me is that I needed to see more. If I was going to try reach other planets, I should see this one first
Australia & Arkaroola
