I was born in 1967 in Skegness, Lincolnshire. I grew up for the most part in Merseyside, in particular West Kirby and took a degree in Mathematics and a diploma in Computer Science at Cambridge University. I had a complicated and varied career after that, culminating in my working as a systems administrator for Apama (UK) Ltd.
I decided to quit computing and become a lawyer. I am currently a consultant for Anderson Law LLP.
