This is me!

ABOUT PHIL – THE EARLY DAYS

When I finished school in the mid-80s—which feels like a lifetime ago—my mind was set on one thing: cooking classes. I pursued my passion by training at Southampton Technical College, a decision that opened the door to an incredible career. Along the way, I traveled across England, working hard to support my journey. Fast forward 18 wonderful years, and here we are, still driven by the love of what I do!

Throughout this time, I never stopped taking photos—because what’s life without capturing its most memorable moments? The places may have changed, but my love for preserving those memories has always remained the same.

FUN FACTS

When I was seven, my dad gave me a £5 note to buy food from the shops. On my way there, I found a tire. Since my shorts had no pockets, I decided to tuck the note into the tire and roll it along with me (because that’s just what you did as a kid!). I ended up losing the money—and earning a few stern slaps from my dad—but it’s a story I’ll never forget!

Now, a little about me:
– I’m DOG CRAZY! Life just isn’t the same without dogs. They’re my constant companions, especially when I’m editing.
– Fitness Enthusiast: I stick to a low-carb, healthy lifestyle, and I love walking, hitting the gym, and staying active.
– Wicked Sense of Humor: It’s something I thing is wicked, even if my wife doesn’t always share the same appreciation for it.
– Passionate Traveler: I absolutely love traveling. Whenever we get the chance, we head back to England to visit family and friends.
– 80s Fanboy: I’m all about *Knight Rider*, *Airwolf*, *Automan*, *Manimal*, *Star Trek*, and *Star Wars*. The 80s were the best!
– Proud Aussie Resident:** Living in Australia is a dream come true—it’s truly the best place to be.

That’s a little snapshot of who I am—quirks, passions, and all!
