About me:
After whizzing around the world disguised as a hydrographic surveyor in my younger days I finally came back to England in the late 80′s. Partly due to my wanderings my wife and two sons are a mixed bunch having been born in Burma, Brunei and the USA respectively.
I had become more and more involved with computers during this time abroad and decided this was the career for me and have therefore worked in IT ever since, initially for a software house and, since January 2000, as a self employed IT consultant working on web site design and maintenance.
I live in a picture postcard village in East Sussex and soon became known as the ‘guy who can sort it out’ whenever people got into trouble with their PCs. I quickly found myself helping people around the local area, covering anything from buying or upgrading a PC to building their own websites.
I found the Digital Unite philosophy complimented my own desire to help other people get the benefits and enjoyment that so many individuals get from their understanding of computers. Their emphasis on the ‘Silver Surfer’ also fits in neatly with the work I had already been doing which has involved me with many ‘mature’ learners, some well into their 80′s! Seeing their enthusiasm and growing confidence has been a massive plus factor for me. I am a great believer in one-to-one training where I can dedicate my full attention to someone.
