I was born in Chile, fled under Pinochet, grew up in the South Pacific, and spent my teens in the South Hams. I have an HND in Hotel, Catering & Institutional Management. I swapped pub management for publishing, creating one of the largest independent publishers of the nineties, before becoming editor of a website about Festivals. Today, I’m the editor of Reconnect Magazine, a top level longbow archer, and one of the organisers of local eco events including Turn The Tide Festival. I am the Coordinator of ACT’s Carbon Cutters (CC) project, as well as an ACT Wildlife Warden for Dawlish.
