I originally come from Cardiff, the capital city of Wales in Great Britain. Since moving to the U.S.A. I have found it difficult to explain to the locals where I came from. Whenever anyone said to me "oh you must be from England?" I used to correct them by telling them "no I'm Welsh actually" to which the typical response was "oh, Wales, England ". I now just smile, admit defeat, and claim I come from England.

I arrived in Los Angeles in June 1994. I was transferred to California after the company I worked for closed up shop and offered me a position in their California division. While living in Los Angeles I shared an apartment with two friends and a pot-bellied pig named Romeo.

This is a picture of me after I'd come back from the pub (naturally) at the age of 21 or thereabouts (a long time ago :-). It was around the time I was a big fan of the British band The Cure and tried my best to look like Robert Smith, the lead singer.

It was also the time that I had enough hair to enable me to do such a thing :-(
