It seems only appropriate that I introduce myself to you all in a proper manner. I am by trade a professional Mortuary Archaeologist and Death Historian, having studied Ancient History, Egyptology and Archaeology at University College London and the University of London respectively. I am also a former Post-Graduate Research Fellow at the IIPSGP, where my PhD research focused on an interdisciplinary study of order and chaos. My specialist areas of research include non-conformist rites and burials, funerary art, architecture and symbolism, as well as aviation archaeology and history.  I currently reside in the wilds of Scotland, which enables me to explore a variety of ancient landscapes. 

I am a published author of many works, some include the best-selling book Kingdom of the Ark, together with Warrior Women of Northern Europe, Medinet Habu - A Heritage Tour Guide (new edition out in 2024), Burying the Dead - The Archaeological History of Burial Grounds, Graveyards and Cemeteries (2000 and 2025 respectively), Life of a Medical Officer in World War One, and my upcoming release, via Pen and Sword, entitled Boneyards of Steel- Exploring The Worlds Aircraft Graveyards. I am honoured that my wriiten work has also been dramatically transformed into graphic novel format by the legendary Godfather of British comics, Pat Mills (2000AD, Judge Dredd). Further information regarding my written work can be found on the Books Menu above.

Working at the forefront of historical revisionism I have once been described as a 'ground-breaking academic researcher, writer and broadcaster.' Not my words, I can assure you, and an ephithet I do find rather embarassing. But it has enabled me to work with some exceptionally thought-provoking people over the years. Thus, my research skills are often in demand. Some examples include: Tutankhamun: The Exodus Theory (Andrew Collins and Chris Ogilvie Herald), The Tutankhamun Deception (Gerald O’ Farrell), Act of God, (Graham Phillips), Moses: The Legacy, (Graham Phillips), Gods of Eden (Andrew Collins)  and Gateway to Atlantis (Andrew Collins) to name but a few. I have also worked as an academic advisor on many internationally acclaimed TV documentaries, such as Secrets of the Dead (Channel 4), The Tutankhamun Deception (Channel 5), Gladiatrix (Channel 4) and The Soaring Stones (The History Channel). 

I have worked extensively 'in the field,' as they say, on a number of archaeological excavations, my most recent project comprised surveying, recording and photographing funerary art in Orkney for a highly successful curated exhibition in Orkney Museum. I have served on a number of archaeological committees, including Lanista Ancient Warfare Academy, The Institute of Field Archaeologists and The Kirkmichael Trust, and am currently the Social Media Manager for the Journal of Wetland Archaeology, as well as a sitting committee member for the International Society for the Study of Egyptomania. 

In the later half of 2025 I acquired/took over the helm of a once defunct aviation archaeology group, namely Aviation Research Group Orkney and Shetland (ARGOS for short), and together with a former founding memeber, I am currently working on some rather exciting archaeological projects for the upcoming 2026 season.
