I am a born and bred Bristolian and live in Bristol with my wife and beautiful baby girl! My passion for food had been in me from a very young age as both my Mum and Dad are keen cooks! I started to experiment with food when I went to University in Falmouth where I studied photography!

My life completely changed when my wife entered me for Masterchef in 2005.  Before that I was a Digger Driver!!!!  I thoroughly enjoyed the experience but found it very tough!  Being one of the finalists has opened many doors for me.  I was offered a job at two Michelin star ‘Midsummer House’ in Cambridge, under head chef Daniel Clifford, what an experience and what an amazing restaurant, I learned more there in a short space of time, than I had in my previous 28 years!

I was lucky enough to be a part of a T.V series for the BBC’ called ’Take on The Takeaway’ where I got the chance to work alongside some of my idols, such as Gary Rhodes, Jean christophe Novelli and Angela Hartnett. I have also appeared on ’Good food live’ and ‘Market kitchen’  One of my biggest achievements to date was being chosen as one of the resident Chef’s for ITV’s This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. I have worked on ITV’s Lorraine since September 2010 along side the legend that is Lorraine Kelly. In recent times I have been working with brands such as ‘Kingsmill’ and ‘Kikkoman’ soy sauce and regularly have my recipes published in ‘Fabulous Magazine’

I have big plans for the future, and cant believe how lucky I am to have an opportunity to be involved in the world of food!!!!
