Bio:
‘Video-games’ should be my middle name and due to the amount of time I spend playing them, it must be in my blood. In the 20 years that I have been on both consoles and PCs, I have watched the industry evolve (I still own a working Spectrum Sinclair ZX81) and have owned every console since the Master System. My passion for gaming is so large that I started on a university degree in the area to allow me to enter further into the industry. After asking for opinions on an article on gaming that I had done for some coursework, I unexpectedly became a staff writer at Complete Gaming Network. Working my way up the ranks wasn’t an easy task, but my enthusiasm for not only gaming but writing too, is only rivalled by one other (Andy) which secured me the role as Deputy Editor and second in command. My biggest achievement would be converting my partner Kirsty into not only a gamer but a gaming writer as well.

Not one to shy away from writing, you will hopefully read a lot of quality articles from myself, some funny and others more serious.

Favourite Genre:
Everything, got to master them all! Love J-RPG’s and First Person Shooters.

Gaming Style:
Trigger happy, I have no fear.

Special Move:
Wandering into the line of friendly fire before blaming others.

Most Common Quote:
‘Actually’ (usually said every other word).
