A bit about me

 

I was born in the South East of England in 1971.

 

I lived in and worked in the UK for many years in various different fields from banking to the music industry.

 

My work as a graphic designer began in 1996. My company, Bassline Design Ltd specialised in the design of CD and DVD sleeves. On return from travelling in 2001 I formed Mascot Design which now specialises in website design.

 

I began training birds of prey for falconry at the age of 11, this passion has stayed with me throughout my life.

 

in 2001, together with friends, the idea of Parahawking was conceived. Parahawking is essentially a fusion between Paragliding and Falconry where birds of prey are trained to fly with Paragliders and guide them to thermals.

 

The past 8 years have been dedicated to the development of the Parahawking project which is based in Nepal. Parahawking provides a useful platform to promote important conservation issues affecting Birds of Prey in Nepal.

 

I currently live in Pokhara, Nepal where I run the Parahawking operation plus Maya Devi Village restaurant with my team of dedicated staff, family and friends.

 

Listed on the right are some of the projects that I am involved with.
