Hobbies & interests

Outside of work, I have a keen interest in music and sound, both as a producer and engineer, and as part of an audience, and I also enjoy other creative pursuits (photography, design, writing, and so on). I'm reasonably active and sociable, and I regularly attend gigs at local venues to see both large well-known and new unsigned acts alike.

I generally have several personal projects in progress at any time, to exercise different interests and skills—often mixing creative, strategic and technical approaches to solving problems and bringing ideas to life.
