GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 40- February 2018

What’s the best thing about run- ning your site? Traction! When traffic starts flowing and users start interacting with a site I’ve built, it’s the most satisfy- ing thing in the world. I love optimizing websites and improving on KPIs; it’s what I do for clients all day every day. The site generates some revenue too, which is nice! What do you do to stay in shape – both physically and mentally? I stretch every day and try to get a pleasant walk in each day, too. I have some weights and a pull-up bar too, and go through stages of using them a lot. What do you do with your spare time? With multiple businesses and a wife and child, I don’t get much spare time. When I do though, I like to catch up with my good friends and play some games, both online and offline. What did you dream of doing, both professionally and personally, when you were a kid? I wanted to be a marine biologist and a wartime photographer. I got a photography degree, but I realized I was good at websites and app design and development and pursued that. I still love photography, but I’m less interested in documenting war and more interested in beautiful landscapes and portraits of people. If someone from out of town were visiting you, what’s the one place you’d definitely take them to see? In Norwich, we have some cool tourist attractions. I may take them to see the castle. The cathedral we have here is re- ally impressive too. If that someone were from another coun- try, then I’d take them to London for sure. When you need to get as far away from work as possible, where do you go? My mum’s house in the coun- tryside. There is no phone signal, and they’re still on dial-up! What’s your all-time favorite movie? I have more than one. The Usual Suspects, Reservoir Dogs, Life of Pi and all of Bruce Lee’s works! If you could invite any five peo- ple, living or dead, to dinner, who would they be? Lemmy, Bruce Lee, Genghis Khan, Cleopatra and Zucker- berg, for kicks. My dad had dinner with Lemmy once. Name three things that people reading this magazine don’t know about you. 1. I was a child actor and was in a Black Flag music video. 2. I went to over 13 schools as a kid and moved more times than that. 3. My dad is a retired comedian in LA, and he performed on the Vegas cir- cuit, too.
