About Me

I grew up in Scotland, but now I’m living in Surrey with my girlfriend and our son. Being a dad is a big part of my life—it’s busy, fun, and always keeps me on my toes.

When I have some downtime, I like diving into my hobbies—flying drones, photography, and just getting out to new places. I shoot with a Sony A7RV,DJI Mini Pro 4 or Avata 2. I enjoy the mix of creativity and tech and the constant challenge of finding fresh perspectives.
