Biography
The person.
The perspective.
South London, Coulsdon and Kent. A personal background behind the projects and investments.
South London to Kent.
I was born on 16 August 1999 at Mayday Hospital in Thornton Heath, south London, now known as Croydon University Hospital. I grew up in Coulsdon, Surrey, before my family moved to Kent in 2014. I now live in Sheerness.
My interests increasingly centre on technology, web development, digital publishing and personal investing. I use my websites to give these interests a clear home, while keeping the personal story separate from the investment record.
A working-class background.
My grandfather owned a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen shop. My grandmother worked for stockbrokers Walker Crips Group plc. My mother worked in retail, and my father worked in vehicle mechanics.
These are parts of my family background, and of the perspective I bring to my own projects and investments.
Selected memories.
Cubs and Scouts
I was involved with Scouts between approximately 2006 and 2013. Through Cubs and Scouts, I participated in Trooping the Colour activities between approximately 2008 and 2012.
This participation was through the youth organisation, not military service.
London Paralympic Games
I attended the London Paralympic Games and remember watching a men’s wheelchair athletics race. The precise event and classification are not confirmed.
A move to Kent
My family moved from Coulsdon to Kent, beginning the next chapter after my childhood in Surrey.
