Brought up in Wales with a private school education and a passion for playing rugby, he studied hotel management and acquired a new passion for food. In his early twenties, he moved to the west coast of Ireland and soon became head chef of a prestigious hotel, possibly far too young as he sought something new. This led him firstly to set up a jewelry workshop, producing works in silver and gold that, as he said, would last longer than the works he had been producing with food. A restless urge to see and do more took him on a sojourn to the sea where he became a trawler-man, a lobster fisherman, and an oyster dredger, learning to dive and do simple underwater work.
Moving from Ireland to Scotland, he returned to the hotel kitchens and his first love until being left alone to bring up a baby son. He found the hotels far too demanding on his time, so he took employment that he could work in around his son’s care. So he found himself planting new forests on the slopes of the Scottish Highlands where the solitude, peace, and beauty of his surroundings gave him inspiration to create stories.
He would describe himself as a storyteller rather than an author.view less
