I have been described as having all the characteristics of a polymath; someone whose expertise spans a significant number of different subject areas.  MY two principal passions are classical music and new developments in the field of sound & music.  However my other fields of knowledge include the philosophy of yoga, neuro-linguistic programming, web-based marketing, business management, training, personal & team development, astronomy and UAVs, rather poor french and developing applications for improvisation theory.

MY original training was as a violinist at the Royal Academy of Music.  My life's work has been wide and various including having been Head of Music in a central London school, followed by success in a sales role as a global account manager for an international corporate after which I became a consultant trainer with experience extending across the UK, Europe and China.
