About

I’m a dad, a creative and video games business leader.

Over the last 30 years I’ve scratched my creative itch in the music industry initially as a writer, sound engineer and producer, then for the last 18 years or so in video games as a software engineer, designer, creative director, and CEO / COO. I’ve founded a few companies too, and I loved every minute of all of it.

I’m twice a father and once a husband, I play squash, run less than I should, enjoy films, sports and games of all kinds, I like walking and visiting interesting places, particularly castles and dramatic landscapes, and I have a unhealthy love of mince pies.

I play a few instruments badly, use a few programming languages, some better than others, and really enjoy the geekery of dreaming about and making games and games businesses.

As of today (Feb 2023) I am on sabbatical after founding The Multiplayer Group in 2018, selling it in 2019 and nuturing and growing it into the best multiplayer development studio in the world, before leaving for a short break in the summer of 2022. Now I’m ready to move forward. I have a few ideas, one of which is to update this website, using it to start to help other games businesses / people that would benefit from talking things through. If that’s you, I’d love to chat.
