I was born in the north of England, attended Crompton House School before gaining an apprenticship in building construction technology. I moved to Australia at the tender age of 21. Spending 25 years in the wide brown land, I went on to study computing in Adelaide.
I moved back to the United Kingdom in 2000 and now work in London. My work life has been in both the building industry and computing. I now work mostly on internet based systems where I get to write a lot of technical documentation. I started to realise that I was interested in writing only recently. I regularly contribute to the Richard Dawkins forum where religion, philosophy, science and atheism are discussed.
I was a keen pilot before my children came along. A passion which has been passed on to my son who is now a commercial pilot. I am also a lapsed musician, when the mood takes me I enjoy playing guitar. My daughter also inherited my interest in music and is a keen lyricist and performer.
I live near Watford, whilst my children enjoy my house in Queensland.
