About me

I have worked for several publications in print and online in both the UK and Australia.

I started my career in 1996 as a trainee reporter on the Enfield Gazette. Career highlights include eight years as a senior sub-editor with the Daily Telegraph in Sydney and a stint as a reporter at the Sunday Mirror.

I can write about most subjects for any audience – broadsheet or tabloid – and particularly enjoy anything related to economics, politics, finance, markets, sound money, energy, cleantech and sustainability. I also like making technical and otherwise complicated subjects easy to understand and interesting to read about.
