About me


My life story in a few short paragraphs...

 


 


 

From as early as I can remember, I've had an interest in engineering. I learned to solder at the age of 10, tried to fix my first radio at the age of 11, managed to fix my first piece of audio gear at 13. The rest is history as they say.

I grew up in a family where I was influenced by a wide range of music, my first memory of music was hearing the likes of jazz greats such as Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald, mixed with classical and a lot of material on the folk/rock side. I probably picked up the folk and jazz influence a lot stronger than I did the classical, but I still like most kinds of music.

I'm heavily into photography and design, all the graphics on this website are my own work. I also have a thing for vintage cars - I currently own a couple of modern Jaguars - a mid 90's XJ Sport 4.0 and a last generation XKR coupe - and also have a vintage Ford Capri which I'm gradually restoring to factory condition. I've also owned a couple of MGs, Alfas, a Lotus, various other vintage Jags, the list goes on. My dream car would be something rare and vintage, maybe a 30's Bugatti with a straight 8 engine or an early lightweight bodied Jaguar coupe, E-Type or something earlier from the LeMans era; something from the days when cars still had a coach-built feel and weren't made entirely from plastic. I can dream I guess.

My industry qualifications include a Distinction HNC and City & Guilds, both in Electronic Engineering. I'm currently studying Electronic Engineering at the University of Essex .
