I have always been interested in science and engineering since a young age. I designed and built radio control model aeroplanes since the age of 11 along with the help of my uncle who was the most amazing mentor to me. I obtained my Private Pilots Licence in Los Angeles in my twenties breaking the club record for 'hours to solo' at 5.9 hours. Always one for a challenge! Though the challenges of becoming angel investor and an entrepreneur were equally rewarding.

In 2019/2020 I was the most prolific UK inventor with more patents filed in my name than any other individual in the UK totalling over 800.
