Hobbies And Interests

Moderator and contributor to Product Design Forums (www.productdesignforums.com), a global forum for student and professional designers from Product, Industrial, Transportation and Appareil Design backgrounds who can share and discuss various design subjects as well as receive design critique on finished projects, works in progress and portfolios.

I enjoy playing basketball and rugby.

I currently write and record my own dub-step and electronica music, but previously played bass guitar in a band. While in the band, we released a full 11 track album and a 5 track E.P., both with major UK record labels within the genre. Copies were sold internationally and could be found within music chains such as HMV and Virgin as well as on Amazon.com and Play.com.
