First and foremost I am a husband to Valerie and father to Charlie and am part owned by a dog called Henry. I (sometimes) live in the beautiful Channel Island of Guernsey. These days I am a full time social revolutionary helping transform my country Guernsey into the best place to live on earth by 2020. The Dandelion Project aims to use a small country to tackle the biggest single barrier to global progress - bureaucracy itself. Can one community move beyond the need for traditional government? Can one community build its own systems to self organise its population? Can one community design itself for a future of abundance rather than the scarcity of the past? These are the bold questions that we seek to answer and find solutions for. When we succeed we will have found the blueprint for the world to move beyond the existing Western model. I also spend my time helping people to unlock their potential, having much more fun and live with greater freedom and meaning. I do this by getting up every day to live my own remarkable life, having coffee with great people, going on incredible adventures, learning as much as I can and blogging to the world about what I go through. In a past life I was an unhappy and unhealthy internet entrepreneur in the alternative health sector (irony not lost). We lost a lot of money initially but in the end found a way to make a a good amount. There is an awful lot you learn about yourself going through a decade long experience like that. I have an almost unhealthy fascination regarding outliers, contrarian thinking and making the impossible possible. I also have a huge passion for reinventing education (so so bored at school), reinventing community and helping the world become a happier and more inspiring place.

People and possibility interest me more than anything else. I have a huge passion for reinventing education (so so bored at school) and helping the world become a happier place.
