Biographical Info
British citizen, lived overseas since 1991, 6 years in India, 20 years in Australia, and now for the last 3 years in Spain. Official business registered in Estonia. Originally a comedy screenwriter, I've been in gems & minerals since 1991, primarily selling in the US market, as well as Europe, Australia, & Japan. Started selling at the Pueblo Inn
at Tucson in 1999 and have sold at various shows over the years ever since. Sourcing worldwide, I have clocked up 110-115 countries currently visited. In amongst this I started eclipse-chasing in the early '90s and have currently seen and photographed (another passion of mine) 12 total solar eclipses all over the world. Bought and sold my first meteorites in the mid-90s (Odessa was my first, then Russian pallasites & Gibeon around 2000) but only as part of the broader mineral business. Sold my Aussie business with 5000sq/ft warehouse in Byron Bay in 2016 and relocated to Europe (Andalucia, Spain) with my family. Started new business based in Estonia (very good system for businesses there), focusing on meteorites. The meteorite side of our business is called OuterSpacer Meteorites. Sold our 30 acre farm in Australia & invested heavily in meteorites as well as started hunting annually in Muonionalusta. Quickly became involved with the meteorite crowd and have learned quickly thanks to my broader mineral industry experience and the strong mentor-ship that the meteorite community provides. Sponsored the 2020 Meteorite Mansion in Tucson and I look forward to many more years of active involvement in this field.
