I'm a philosopher who has taken a practical and creative turn by applying my knowledge and wisdom to public issues (blogs), in creative writing (stories), and as an expert for businesses seeking advice on virtue ethics and meaningful work (consultation). Literary writing interests include animal characters in sci-fi and children's stories.

​I'm an award-winning academic with a broad range of experience in leadership, technical, and professional roles as head of the philosophy department (University of Kent), claims adjuster, and general manager of a small business. I have more than 10 years' experience identifying and applying philosophical research in ethics, meaningful work, and hermeneutics to public and private sector organizations. Focused consultation for local and international businesses on virtue ethics, public reasoning, communication, and meaningful work.

When not reflecting and writing, I can usually be found windsurfing or rock climbing.
