## about

I'm Stu. I live in the UK with my wife and our fox red Labrador, Darcey. She's five, and we walk her a lot.

The thing I'm most passionate about is health and fitness. My focus is HYROX and road running, with strength training to support both. I love HYROX because it asks for everything at once, strength and endurance and the kind of mindset that turns up when none of those feel available. The events help too. Dubstep & drum and bass at full volume while you push a sled is, it turns out, exactly my kind of thing. I share what I'm doing as hybridfitnessguy on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.

The day job is Serenity Digital, which I co-founded in 2012. It's a marketing consultancy of fifteen, doing creative, technical and growth work. My background is web development and sysadmin, so I'm at home in a terminal, and I've put that to work on a side project too: Protect My WP, a practical handbook for keeping a WordPress site safe, fast and up to date. Most of my spare thinking these days goes on AI. I use it day to day, build with it, and lean on it for data analysis. It's the most interesting thing happening in tech in years and I'd rather be using it than reading about it.
