About Me

My wife Michelle and son Jack

Most importantly I’m husband to my beautiful wife Michelle and father to the centre of my world Jack. We live near Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK which is where I work from day to day.

I class myself as a designer and front-end developer, however I’m more a general jack-of-all-trades out of necessity rather than choice.

I began my career as an IT Technician which I did for 7 years, working both in the private sector as well as within education, most notably the University of Leeds. I eventually became disillusioned with IT support and in 2004 I decided to actively pursue a career in the web and began building sites freelance alongside my current job.

Infinite Path

In 2007 I took up the position of Web Developer at the Leeds College of Art & Design developing intranets, internal web applications and virtual learning systems.

In 2009 I left the college to fill the role of Head of Web Development for a new web services agency that we’ve lovingly named Infinite Path. We are a young, enthusiastic team eager to make our mark on the industry so watch this space and expect great things from us.

Boagworld

I’ve been the producer of the longest running web design and development podcast boagworld since 2008.

The show attracts an average of 100,000 listeners each month and I’ve have hosted a number of shows myself.

The show is hosted by Paul Boag and Marcus Lillington, two characters who I have the pleasure of calling friends and from whom I’ve learnt a great deal.

We were awarded podcast of the year in 2008 by .net magazine, an accolade previously awarded to Russel Brand the year before.
