Born in the late '70s to a fire officer and his wife, Paul Baxter grew up in Essex. He attended Edward Francis Primary and Fitzwimarc Secondary before going on to study Art, Design, and Fashion at South East Essex College.

Paul's career journey has taken him through a variety of fields, including catering, sports clothing, social care, and structural engineering. He's also a family man—happily married to Samantha for over six years and a proud father of three.

Beyond his professional life, Paul is a creative at heart. He founded a photography business, capturing moments for sports teams, weddings, and parties. Now, he's making space in his life to share his long-held passion for poetry with the world.
