He studied English Language, Literature, History and Drama. 
He went onto to publish prose and poetry in selected anthologies throughout the 1990's and was credited with a publication in the national newspaper, the Sunday Mirror in remembrance of Diana Princess of Wales. He eventually edited an anthology of work in 2005, a book intended to bring the voices of the world together collectively in response to the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. The book was of a limited run and all profits from its sale were donated to the Tsunami Earthquake Fund. The book has gone onto become a valued piece of social history and often used in university academic studies. The book now sells for high values.
