A Brief History Of Harcourt

I was born on May 3rd 1978 in Gravesend in Kent, to my mum & dad (no surprises there!) Lis & John. I have an older sister, Sarah, who lives in Liverpool with her Boyfriend Peter. I also have a brother called Peter. I have lived in or around Gravesend and Dartford for 25 years. In June 2003 I met my girlfriend and love of my life Nicola. Together we have a house in the lovely village of Higham, where we live with our very naughty cat, Holly. I have traveled extensively in my life including trips to California, Germany, France and of course the Isle of Wight! In October 2004 I returned from a Holiday in Turkey a very happy man as Nic agreed to marry me. We were married on 5th August 2006.

 
     
 

I have spent the past decade concentrating on my career. I have been in the design industry since 1996 having completed my drama school course and deciding to go into a career that (A) I was good at and (B) could make some money at. I am currently working as a designer for BG Masterplug in Ashford. (My CV & some of my work can been seen by clicking on one of the links above).

I have many hobbies. I have embraced the DVD and I am currently working solely to pay the mortgage and swell my collection. (And to fund my girlfriends expensive shoe buying habit - I swear i'm living with an octopus the amount of shoes she has!) I am really into DIY and get a round of golf when I can. I also enjoy working out at home (although don't let that fool you i'm no Brad Pitt as you can see from my photograph!) I like trying out different restaurants, food is a major part of my life, (hence the need for working out). I will often be found in Blue Water Cinema. I also enjoy creating dance music on my PC. (PC's are good for only two things Games and music. Apple Macs Rule!)
