I live in West Yorkshire, with my wife Hollie, daughter Kit, and our Siberian Husky, Mutley. Belfast, Northern Ireland, Glasgow, Scotland, and Boston, Massachusetts, have also been home at one point or another; in some ways they still are.

Someone who knows me very well has observed that I refuse to stay put in any one “box”. Perhaps they’re right. I prefer to consider myself in terms of verbs rather than nouns.

Above all else, I am always looking for lessons, and believe in the value of effort and examination as teachers.
