In the real world, I am a retired cognitive behavioural therapist with a background in mental health nursing. My working career has ranged far and wide from civil servant to sales assistant.
I've written for Battlegames and Miniature Wargames magazines, and I was both a reviewer and columnist for Games Master International. In addition, I was a freelancer for FASA Corps working on the 3055 Technical Read Out, and I wrote the OHMU War Machine wargame rules.
I've been told I have more interests than most people have dinners, which include: cycling, aikido, iaido, photography, miniature wargaming,painting, and archery.
I am unashamedly a starry eyed dreamer.
