Responsibilities 

I decided to combine my two great loves in life and apply my creative talents to a new medium. I am currently in the process of updating and administrating my website, through which I publish my own work. I have managed to develop a number of relationships with established GP2 teams as a means to build my portfolio as well a number of exclusive interviews with both established and rising talent. After a relatively short time I acquired a position as senior contributor on the writing staff of a leading formula one website The Write Formula and contributed to Enter F1 among others as well as providing on-line content for a number of Sporting sites. A cinematic analysis of Senna led to worldwide positive feedback, including from the director himself and secured an exclusive article with Red Bull Racing.

With the release of 'SENNA' I found myself able to combine my passion for both with a textual analysis of the film which has been read and seemingly well received by the films director, Asif Kapadia via a twitter compliment. I include this as I I also recently found myself fortunate enough to be invited to provide my F1 insight on a short radio slot.
