He obtained a BA in English at Liverpool, and has worked there in marketing and web design since. He traces his interest in skepticism to Penn and Teller's Bullshit! series. Researching why Teller never speaks led him to The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast, and from there he discovered James Randi's Flim-Flam! and Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World.
