I was born in Gods County Sussex, ENGLAND, UK and was partly raised in Crawley (shytehole) and Burgess Hill, both in Sussex. Though luckily I was educated at Burgess Hill for 9 years (at a all boys school). I left school with 6 GCSEs, 45 Pupil of the weeks, and 8 Pupil of the terms. Boy I was a good pupil at schjool. I was also a good long distance runner repersenting my school from 1996 until 2002. I then went on to get 2 business admin diplomas at Crawley College between 2002 and 2004. Sadly due to personal reasons I had to leave home in late 2003. And I am currently living in Ifield (I live on the same street that the author of Dial M for Murder wrote the horror story that became a horror movie), on the outskirts of Crawley (sadly) though in the long term I want to move somewhere Brightonish. I am also a former Youth MP for West Sussex, a position I held for a year from 2004 until early 2005, when I decided to retire from politics.
I am currently at college in Haywards Heath, Sussex and hoping to study history at the University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton, Sussex. I am a tennis maniac, a hardcore Brighton and Hove Albion fan. I also love going for night outs in Brighton. Personal and family I have 2 brothers Daniel Junior (b. 1990, Cuckfield, Sussex), Stephen (b.1993, Crawley, Sussex), one sister Rose (b.1999, Crawley, Sussex), two wonderful parents Stephanie (b.1964, Carshalton, Surrey), Daniel (b.1951, Wimbledon, London).
HISTORY OF STRIKE FACTORY The history of Strike Factory has roots going as far back as 1996 when I did a spoof comedy newsletter for classmates at my old school Abbotsford (now closed sadly) in Burgess Hill called The Bun Then a few years later, when I began getting internet access at my school in Burgess Hill regularly, I was thinking of starting up a website for a bit of a laugh, sadly due to certain restrictions, I could not start a website. so I put the idea on freeze until I got my own P.C with Internet access. I eventully left my school and Burgess Hill in 2002, but still had no internet access apart from the occasional appearance on a P.C at Crawleys Libary in the town centre. The idea would not be reborn until September 2004. When I created a firm called Chazworld, sadly this firm would not last long, due to a poor site and the site was closed down by Christmas 2004. So I freezed the idea again until May 2005, bored decided to creat a low bugdet comedy website inspired by Scott McCarthys McCarthys Industries, I founded a new firm and website Strike Factory. A week later and after one or two makeovers the site became a sucess having over 700 hits towards the end of the month, then agreeing a historic sponsorship with Lizard Ladies, who went on to run a suscessful race in Brighton. Beginning a suscessful realtionship that started a bit cagey at first with Steven Valders North Stand Polls and Lizard firm which was strengthened more with my appearance at Safeways birthday bash at Hove in March 2007. Although the site still has strong ties with the Crocs, McCarthys Industries and of course Burgess Hill the home of B. Hill Uncovered and Strike Factorys ancestor The Bun! The site has been slowly growing, getting more and more popular throughout Sussex (West, East and B+H) on Strikes travels, and now I am planning to take this site further, hoping to break North America soon, with the help of Myspace and now the site has a sister Brighton and Hove Albion site in assocation with Rivals.net Seagulls Nest TBC
