About MeI live on the North Yorkshire moors in a small village (surrounded by forests) called Lockton with my wife Jane, our two children Oliver and Matilda and our dogs Rosie and Oscar (we also appear to have three cats but I won't go into that) - I am most at home when with friends chatting over something nice to eat surrounded by technology.
Whether it is a BBC Model "B" or an Apple Watch my true north is data and how we use it to generate leads, drive up revenues, reduce costs or perhaps to just make day to day things a little simpler (or more fun). |
Abandoned |
Every year I take my motorbike (I currently have a BMW 1200S) to Hull and cross over in to mainland Europe for a week either on my own or with a friend to visit abandoned buildings - I have visited many locations but the bigger the better from Chateaux to Hospitals in France, Spain, Germany, Holland and Belgium. I don't know what drives me but I do photograph the buildings I travel to and recently used Periscope to share the experience - I typically use the web to find them then plot the geographical coordinates into Google Maps and will ride for hours if I need to.

Health |
Whilst I have never been particularly healthy I have recently focused on improving my health rather as an example to my children than anything else, it is frightening how they seem to copy my values. I don't smoke or drink alcohol, I try to get to the gym 3 or 4 times a week for 30 minutes and don't put salt on my food or sugar in my coffee. I have done all of the above to excess in the past so don't particularly miss any of them any more.
In 2018 my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, since then we as a family have been on a journey with both ups and downs. We are hugely grateful to the NHS for being there for us in our time of need and our family and friends who dropped everything to help. |
