About

Born in Highgate in the Sixties. Childhood in London was great for music and sport. Studied existentialism and electronics in Norwich. Back to London in the Nineties to work in publishing and start family. An early Internet developer specialising in SGML. Moved to Oxfordshire to work in software development. Recently back to London on daily commute for a well known accidental publisher - make sense of that!
