I was born in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1972 and I live there today. I have worked in communications, publishing and the maritime industry.

I am a writer and my poetry collection The Sets is being published in 2021 by Otago University Press.

In 2020 I was commissioned by the Newsroom website to write a series of political satires in verse. My poems have been displayed in the Reykjavik City Hall and in Antarctica. I had a poem featured in Ōrongohau | Best New Zealand Poems 2020.

I operate my own communications and design agency Coast Communications.

My other interests include music and technology.
