I was born in Rotherham, Yorkshire but moved to Dorking, Surrey at an early age. Completed a formal apprentiship in Engineering, then moved to New Jersey, USA where I lived for several years. Later I returned to the UK and lived in Devon.Currently, I reside in Fuerteventura with my wife Sonya and lots of dogs (she works for a dog rescue charity).I have a passion for science and technology, I try to not only 'think outside the box' but 'live' there as well.To me, cynicism is an admirable personality trait. I am and will remain, young of heart and mind, and am an incurable romantic.Life's a garden 'dig it'!.
