I was born in England in 1966 and have lived there all my life, though I have traveled extensively in Europe, Southern Africa, South East Asia and elsewhere.
I am an ex-rower, having rowed at school, at university (rowed in the Oxford University second VIII in The Boat Race) and for several English clubs.
I am a scuba diver, having a PADI Divemaster qualification and dived in Vietnam, Thailand, Micronesia and elsewhere.
I am an IT project manager and computer forensic analyst, providing technical evidence in criminal cases in the UK.
