Hello

I am a British–Australian author whose work explores the quirks of the human
condition, the joys of travel, and a lifelong devotion to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
Born and raised in London, I enjoyed a 35-year career as a chartered building
services engineer, holding senior roles with global firms Arup and Mott MacDonald after
relocating to Sydney in 2007. Throughout my working life, I cultivated an interest in
leadership, human behaviour and storytelling. I have written extensively for the engineering
industry, with articles published in The Fifth Estate and the CIBSE Journal.

In 2023, I retired from engineering to pursue my passion for travel, sport and writing. With career
ambitions fulfilled and a shared desire to live life to the full, I embarked on a midlife gap
year with my wife Tracy that took us across four continents and every state in Australia.
These journeys – filled with humour, insight and a fascination for people and places –
inspired my upcoming travel memoir Travels with Tracy.

​

My first book, When the Final Whistle Blows, is a deeply personal chronicle of the
2024/25 Spurs season under Ange Postecoglou, and a heartfelt tribute to Cameron Whyte, former leader of the Sydney OzSpurs and a warrior in his fight against cancer. Both books
will be published by Hembury Books in 2025.

My writing invites readers to reflect on their own stories, embrace new adventures at
any age, and find meaning in life’s unpredictability. Taking joy from finding humour in
everyday moments, I share tales of reinvention and resilience – and the emotional
rollercoaster of following Tottenham Hotspur for over sixty years.
