I am a Scottish male, whose main inspiration, motivation and support is my wife, the love of my life.

Having been employed within the the health and social care sector for the last twenty two years, I would have preferred to be a full time writer. I am now taking more serious steps towards that goal and Helium is one avenue that allows me to explore that and improve my writing in the process.

My best moment ...

Getting a humorous article published in a local newspaper.

My inspiration ...

My wife, my life and everything around me.
