About me
I’ve been a journalist since 1987, and live in West London with my wife and our two children (a boy, 3, and a girl, 6).

My ventures

I run zyzzyva, a company that weds SEO and social media know-how with journalism and copywriting skills, to help businesses connect with their audiences. Corporate blogging and articles marketing are among our services.

I also run Sticky Clients, a service that creates personalized newspaper front pages as client gifts for professional service businesses.

More about me

To view my work as a freelance journalist, you can visit my personal website.

And if you have waaay to much time, you can read about some of my beer-fuelled escapades as a journalist in China in the early 1990s, in the much-missed Paul Ryder-Ryan’s China Daily: Between The Lines.
