FAT BMX Magazine

Name: Andrew Clifton-Brown (I took part of my wife’s name as I always hated the surname 'Brown')
Hometown: Kent
Occupation: IT/Photographer (freelance)

Let's start off with a big question, what have you been up to the last 10 years?
Andy Brown: Married to my best friend (yeah I know. Sickening but It’s true though), kids, coding and just keeping busy. Photography work is starting to come in more regularly so it pays for the kit that I buy and the occasional trip and I enjoy my life and friends. The antitheses of where I thought my life would be now.

Let's move back 25 years in time which takes us back to 1984. Was BMX a big part of your life then?
Andy Brown: It was everything to me at that time of my life.
