My background is rough. It's never been easy but it has sure been interesting. I've lay my head down to sleep in beds, on sofa's, on floors, on boats, in fields, in parks, shop doorways and gone days without sleeping or eating at all. I've met drug dealers and I've met royalty. I've achieved and I've under-achieved.

With lived experience in a broad range of circumstances and hardships from family breakdown, to homelessness, to teenage heroin addiction, to mental health concerns with Anxiety and Depression, to extreme poverty, I could go on still. 

I was always in and out of school, totalling 6 primary and secondary schools in Bristol and Torquay. Education was never my thing, until Young Visions.

For a long time now I have tried to turn all that around from negative to positive and I continue to do so.
