Biography:

With a degree in Marine Biology to say that I stumbled into IT would be an understatement & have looked back ever since! Dipped my toes in the old STN forum a few years back when we were having issues with our installation. Came back a while later when I needed clarification of a few things & found I was answering the odd question while I was there. Things just escalated from there: our environment running relatively smoothly so started to investigate others issues & enjoyed every minute of it - it has now become an addiction alongside caffeine & various other obsessions! Being awarded the badge of TA .... still coming to terms with that, but it's very much a privilege & something I will continue to try to live up to! Born & bred Yorkshire lad with the associated outlook on life!
