!! my personal history
well, i was born on 12 feb 1966, in chiswick maternity hospital, west london, england. i moved to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twickenham twickenham]] when i was about 3 yrs old. you could see the rugby ground from my bedroom window (twickenham is where the english rugby team play their international matches, although i never saw a game there as i don't care about rugby). one of my earliest memories was the moon landing in 1969 when i was approx 3. during my childhood i was a real soccer nut and played county level badminton (middlesex county covered most of london so that was pretty good). i went to the local comprehensive school and finished up with 11 'o' levels and 3 'a' levels.
i started to run when i was about 16, to keep fit during exam time.
at 18, i left home to go to [[http://www.soton.ac.uk southampton university]] to do a maths / computing bsc. this took 3 years and i was lucky to pass as i spent so much time running and training and racing. when i left there i moved back to london and started working for one of the 'big four' uk banks as a computer programmer.
i bought a flat in kington-upon-thames with my girlfriend, dawn, who i first met at school when she was in my class at 11 yrs old. the best thing about the flat (it was pretty small and on a busy main road) is that it was just around the corner from richmond park, the best running territory in london. its about 9 or 10 miles circumference and is also close to the thames towpath which runs alongside the river.
after a couple of years, we moved to australia where i started working for one of the major banks there as a computer programmer/analyst. most of this is in c, windows, vb, ms-access, windows nt etc. i moved through the ranks of programmer, analyst, designer, team leader and systems manager. currently i manage numerous projects in the "platform infrastructure" area which is all the nasty stuff that all the application programmers try to ignore eg drivers, hardware, remote access, network and protocols etc. a particular challenge i enjoy is working with business clients to understand, explain and come up with joint solutions to real business problems.
dawn and i got married on a pleasure cruiser on sydney harbour on 17th November 1991 and we became australian citizens in 1993. Since then we have had four children, 3 girls and a boy : dylan (born & died 1994), jazmin (1996), chelsea (1998) and kody (2001).to:
