About me

I help to grow one of the most exciting ad agencies in London right now, Fold7. If you'd like to know what makes us so interesting, come into the fold for a chat.

Over the last few years, I've brought in new business for agencies of all shapes and sizes, written novels, hosted a podcast, taught non-religious meditation, given talks on consciousness studies and the neuroscience of creativity, organised a conference with scientists and magicians, and brewed almost 900 gallons of shark potion.
I'm the author of 'Beyond the Basin', a fast-paced thriller exploring the world of dreams, entheogens and shamanism (www.beyondthebasin.com ). I recently completed Curtis Brown's 6 month course, working on my novel 'Heaven on Earth'. I've also been published in a non-fiction essay collection, 'Neurotransmissions' - (Strange Attractor Press), 2015.
