What My Clients Say

About me

I have been privileged to educate, engage and inspire young people as a textbook author, classroom teacher and head of department in a secondary school.

I write books that have sold in the hundreds of thousands for the biggest educational publisher in the world. I have created an innovative iPad App that harnessed the appeal of comics to teach history. I have written articles that have appeared everywhere from the Sunday People to SecEd magazine and I write scroll-stopping, SEO copy for websites, blogs and social media.

Away from the keyboard I am a devoted partner, proud dad and exasperated beagle owner. I love history, particularly the English Civil War, walking my dog and 90s football.
