About Me

I really have no clue why you would have any interest in reading anything about me, but you’re here so I guess I’d better try to make it interesting!

I was born and lived in the UK for most of my life – until five years ago when I immigrated to the US. Texas, to be exact – about as far away from British Summers as you can get!

Now, I’m back in the UK and work for a well-known satellite TV company in their broadband technical department. This, along with my family, friends, reading, (not) writing, video gaming and building numerous websites, serve to keep me very busy!

Online History

I was quite a late starter with regards to the internet, not having my first “proper” computer until about 8 years ago. I’d obviously been around computers before that, but until this time, I didn’t have regular internet access.

The first forum I joined was for fans of Tomb Raider. I didn’t know much about forums at that point, but I was stuck on a particular level and decided it would be as good a place as any to ask for help. Shortly after that, I picked up my first survival horror game; Silent Hill. I fell in love with it immediately and soon joined a survival horror forum, New Midnight. This was where I first used the name “ControlFreak”, which has pretty much stuck with me ever since.

Over the next couple of years, I taught myself how to use Photoshop and how to build websites. My first “real” website was Black Sanctuary, a survival horror site directory, which was opened in December of 2005 and is still online today.

At the moment, I have other websites that I’m working on, some of which you can see in my projects section here. I’m also kept busy writing for Girl Gamers Suck and as a moderator at the Silent Hill Heaven forum.

If you’re really curious about something, ask away! As long as it’s not too personal. :)
