Hello!

I spent the most time of my long career in the IT Industry starting in operations back in 1970 and working through various disciplines to culminate as Head of IT, This has afforded me a wealth of experience in many areas. My main hobby was Scouting where I worked voluntarily for 34 yrs as a Leader/Commissioner for the 8-11 yrs olds and as a Leader Trainer. I also sang with a large all male chorus in London, that gave me the opportunity to perform in places like Turin, Paris, Washington and Montreal.Throughout my career and in Scouting I did a great deal of teaching through presentations, formalised courses and one to one instruction..

Reading, IT, Theatre, Sports although tend to be more of a spectator these days my passion has always been Tennis I did play Rugby Football in my school days. With a background in IT, it goes without saying that computing is also an interest and to accompany that Sci-Fi. I spent most of my life active in Scouting, with 34 yrs of it as a leader and commissioner wifh the 8-11 yr age group (Cub Scouts). I also sang with a major chorus in the UK which allowed me to visit other countries.I enjoy travelling and have visited a range of countries.
