Since working on The Campaigner he has expanded to playing modern board and card game titles. Miniature converting and painting is a passion, but with less time to dedicate to whole armies, the focus has moved to working with dioramas and individual figures.

He lives in South Australia, Australia with two dogs, a cat, and a long-suffering but understanding girlfriend.
