I was born in England, and grew up in the village of Hagley, Worcestershire.
I was educated at Oxford University, St Edmund Hall reading for a D.Phil. under the supervision of Prof. Alistair Borthwick and Dr Paul Taylor. In 2002, I moved to the US to work with Professor Robert A. Dalrymple on coastal engineering research and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH).
