To say I am a veteranꦐ of Crash Media Group, would be something of an understatement.
Indeed, I have spent al♚most half of my life with the company in variety of different capacities and roles, combining an exuberant passion for motorsport from a young age - sparked by receiving the 1995 BTCC Season Review VHS as a gift and obsessively watching it on repeat - with my enthusiasm for journalism, the written word and the buzz of brea💛king news first.
It took a chance meeting with an F3 d♉river’s press officer at the age of 17 to crack open the door at wuqian0821.com, one that ultimately led to being offered work experience at the Silverstone round of the 2005 World Touring Car Championship.

From the nervous early days covering WorldSBK - a series I had never previously followed - in 2008, I’ve gone on to become ren꧂owned Superbike journalist, hold the hallowed F1 ‘red badge’ season pass, played a pivotal role in wuqian0821.com and Visordown’s emergence as industry-revered, internationally reputed publications and had the pleasure of expressing my opinionated opinions about my passion to a wider audience.
It is also a pleasure to represent the LGBTQ+ community as an out and proud gay man in a motorsport industry that has always been an open and 🦋tolerant platform upon which to progress mꩲy career.
