Bio

British ex-pat who emigrated to the USA in 2000 and lived in Arlington, part of the DFW Metroplex in Texas, for seven years and Jacksonville, Florida, for six years until my marriage ended in divorce. I moved to China in 2014 to work at China Daily but didn't like the American domination of the copy desk editors and the inability to have a social life. I left after 12 months and took up a teaching post at China Foreign Affairs University where I teach journalism to senior students, drawing on my experience of working at The Birmingham Post and Adweek magazine. Teaching at CFAU has been one of the best work experiences of my life; the students are a joy to teach. I was born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent, England, when it still produced the best pottery and bone china in the world. I attended Manchester University for six years and after completing my studies stayed on in the area for two decades. I support Stoke City and have followed them for more years than I care to remember. I am also a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. My interests include music, photography and cinema.
