About Me:
I live with my wife and our two boys in Cardross, in Scotland, near the Firth of Clyde and not far from Loch Lomond. I currently work on the cultivation of edible red seaweed (tastes a bit like bacon) and looking at sustainable wild harvest of seaweed (generally listening to podcasts or music). When I can I like to paint Warhammer 40k, read sci-fi and fantasy and be out on our seashore.

My pronouns are:
I am he/him but will answer to most things.

My Typical Day:
I am usually woken up by one of our sons, have breakfast and get us all ready for the day. I drive to work where I work on my seaweed tanks, carrying out tests. I make myself coffee throughout the day and have a light lunch before continuing developing the seaweed farming and looking at my results. I leave at 4pm to pick up the boys from nursery and after school club.
