Fascinated by the way electronic communication and the PC are transforming the way we work and play, I am dedicated to open and effective systems.

Once a lecturer in Engineering at University College London, the majority of my professional life has been spent in Information Technology. Early on, I helped to write commercial database software. Later, I was heavily involved in the development of Shell's world-wide PC standards. Later still, I had the opportunity to advise Shell management teams in the Far East and Australasia on improving their IT activities.

Qualifications include a PhD in Engineering and over forty years professional experience in Information Technology.

A committee member of Guildford Choral Society, I maintain the society's web site.

Married with two grown-up daughters and two grandchildren, our other interests include gardening, walking and foreign travel.
