Since 2005 I’ve launched ventures that make money, make impact and sometimes just make biscuits.
Since 2005 I’ve built, sold or scaled ventures in gaming, fitness, events, media and sport. Some made headlines, some made mistakes—all taught me how to go from sketch-on-a-napkin to profitable product faster and cheaper than most. If that sounds useful, read on—or just ping a voice note (keep it under two minutes; ADHD says thanks).
Foodie at Heart: Over 84 million views on Google reviews. If your café serves killer pastries, I’m probably rating them.
Weekend Baker: My cookies could give Millie’s a run for their money. Stick around, and maybe you’ll get a taste.
Beverage Enthusiast: Fancy a cocktail or a crisp glass of white? I’m in. Cheers!
Early to Bed: 9pm and I’m lights out. Gotta rest this brilliant-but-busy brain.
Vibrant Gym-Goer: I wear ridiculously colourful OddBalls gear. It sparks chats and new friendships—who says workout kits have to be boring?
ADHD/Dyslexia Friendly: Keep messages short and sweet. Voice notes under 2 minutes welcome. Long essays? My brain nopes out.
Audiobook Aficionado: Favourites include Greenlights, Atomic Habits, Zero Limits, Can’t Hurt Me, The Alchemist, The Surrender Experiment, Big Magic, Inner Engineering, screw it just do it. If these titles mean something to you, let’s talk.
Health Scares & Empires
Age 15 survived collapsed lungs and major kidney issues. While bed-bound, I kept building online empires. If adversity fuels innovation, I’m basically rocket-powered. Now feeling the heathiest i have ever felt!
Online Gaming Hustle (Age 15-17)
Built a group of over 20 Browser Based Online Games. Parents suspected drug dealing (nope, just digital entrepreneurship). Sold the venture at 17, cleared my name, and got my first taste of success.
Bible School Dropout
Went to Bible school, met Mozez (ex-Zero 7 singer), got kicked out for asking too many questions. Ironically, that opened doors to collaboration.
Founding a Record Label
Co-founded an independent recording label with Mozez. Because who wouldn’t jump at a chance to merge creativity, music, and business?
Social Media Reinvented
Helped build a new type of social media platform with Pete Lawrence (Founder of Big Chill). Think beyond selfies; this was about community and culture.
Snacks Away (Ahead of Its Time)
Built an online lunch ordering delivery platform before Just Eat & Deliveroo reigned supreme. The mission? Kill off the crappy sandwich vans. Underfunded, but hey, the idea was golden.
Social Referral Online (Gym Referral Tool)
Created a referral tool that gyms used to boost retention and marketing. Brands like Energy Fitness, Fit4less, Leisure Connections, DC Leisure, Helio Fitness, and Kieser Training jumped on board. A prime example of tech-meets-fitness done right.
Global Brand Building
Helped international companies build online brands and conquer Google rankings for fiercely competitive terms, driving hundreds of millions in online sales. SEO and digital marketing? That’s my playground.
Mentorship & Education
Gave back by mentoring students in local colleges and schools on business and entrepreneurship. Sharing the journey, inspiring the next wave of go-getters.
Bromance with Steve
Met through business, co-founded multiple ventures, survived the startup rollercoaster. Now we’re more than co-founders; we’re lifelong friends.
CTO from a Coffee Shop
Hired a CTO I met in a coffee shop. We’ve been mates and collaborators ever since. Proof that great partnerships brew anywhere.
Domain Name Addiction
Over 800 domain names owned—and counting. One day, I’ll probably build a digital galaxy out of them.
Social Media & Me
I collect social icons like Pokémon cards, I have them but dont use them – but if you want real connection, let’s meet over good food. Online followers? Just décor.
Deanizums – The Book of Dean
I invent words on the fly. It’s linguistic jazz. Everyone laughs; I’ve learned to roll with it.
A curated peek at the ventures I’m publicly tinkering with right now—proof there’s always something new on the workbench. the top-secret stuff stays in the lab
Passive Fire Protection – Smart Door/Building (Patented Tech)
Coming Soon - In MVP Launch 2025
Got an idea, a partnership proposal, or just want to say hi?
Keep your message short, or send me a voice note under 2 minutes. My ADHD brain thanks you.
Too long, didn’t read? Too long, won’t reply. Fair warning.
