I live in a small village in North Warwickshire and caught my first fish a small perch at the age of 8 from a local gravel pit not 3 miles from where I now live and was totally hooked. My fishing and photography go hand in hand as from my early days fishing I always wanted to capture my surroundings, wildlife as well as the fish I caught.

I have been very lucky to be able to travel the world (helped by my very understanding wife) indulging in my passions, this I have to thank my old mate Richard Foster who persuaded me to travel to South Africa with him fishing for great white sharks as up until this time the furthest I had travelled was to France on holiday. This trip was to be a once in a lifetime experience, we went back to South Africa a further 5 times I had been bitten by the travel bug.
