Born to a long line of engineers, I made my daddy proud by being and artist. I was a musician for most of my adult life (check out Behind Horizons by Chris Ryder on Spotify or Apple). These days I funnel my creative urges into tee designs and the very occasional painting. I love motorcycles. In my mind there’s nothing more liberating than hitting the road on two wheels with nowhere to go. Lastly but certainly not least(ly :-/) I have (and still do) struggle with mental health. Most days are good, which I see as a monumental personal achievement – though I have been to the murky depths. I do have it on good authority that through strength and perseverance you can get through darkness and it is possible to break through the ‘feel shit shackles’ life sometimes bestows us. If there’s anyone reading this who’s struggling, hold on. You’re not alone AND as much as you may feel lost at times, better days will come.
