I'm originally from Skipton in North Yorkshire, spending the first 21 years of my life there. I went on to study Immunology at Glasgow University, followed by an MSc in Information Technology.
I've spent a little time out of the country since moving from Skipton, including working in an Immunology laboratory in Tokyo. London as I say above is where I call home at the moment, living with my girlfriend Suzanne in the borough of Hammersmith.
I've a few interests outside of work, including photography, cycling and of course music.
Instead of adding a link, I've decided to add a little text about a few of the simple things that make me happy. The first is my bike, which I love because I built (put together) it from scratch. To those pedantic types out there, no this does not mean that I made the parts myself, what it actually means is that I picked all the parts myself, and assembled them into the frame that I ordered.
Bike parts:
- Bob Jackson Vigorelli frame (22½")
- Phil Wood Hubs and Bottom Bracket
- Campagnolo Record Headset
- Deep V rims laced with Phil Wood spokes
- Sugino 75 Cranks
- ... if you're still interested, speak to me, I'm more than happy to talk about my bike.
I love music, and have done for some years. It's hard to say what influenced me, although my dad's love of Motown was possibly a contributing factor. I sadly don't spend as much time listening to and discovering new music as I would like, although Suzanne bought me a set of Grado headphones which should certainly help (they really do sound amazing).
