About Me

Got born.Grew up a bit in Burma(Myanmar).Grew up some more all around England. Went to a good secondary school and got eight "o" levels and then four "a" levels. Have always adored learning new stuff. Couldn't decide between Arts & Sciences.Undergrad at University of Bradford - left with a B.Sc Hons in Sciency stuff. Got unemployed & unhappy for two years. Stopped being an ar*e & started at the bottom in a job creation scheme. Ended up a manager of an aquarium business for a while. All the time this sciency stuff was going on, art was lurking in the background; well, theatre to be precise. Liked showing off so much I traded everything in for a place at Mountview Drama School on postgrad musical theatre course. Spent the rest of the time trying to earn a living as a performer - convinced a few people for a while. Did some really cool jobs and met some great people. Did some really awful jobs & met some complete prats. Ran away to live in France, tried to renovate a French farmhouse, got seriously depressed, came home for treatment. Returning to stability, have a job in state education teaching kids about the interconnectedness of everything. A tap dancing science teacher....who could ask for more.
