At one time, I was a Lecturer (later, Senior Lecturer) in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester.

Here is a summary of my academic career, September 1976 - February 1995.

I have also included a short summary of my academic books and other published papers.

I am a certified Senior IT Architect with IBM UK. A summary of my professional career can be found here.

More profile information can be found on the Linkedin.com website here.

I am still collecting some of my favourite recipes on my Cooking for Men pages. An index of recipes can be found here.

I have also included recipes for some of my favourite cocktails.

This site is dedicated to my lovely wife Tracey.

We have one son, Sebastian.

We live in the hills of Lancashire in North-West England.

A photographic tour of some of the places around the world we have been over the years can be found here. My travelogues are here.

And, yes, a good deal of the travelling has involved eating and drinking!

I am building up a few notes on recent events and interests.

My short story Itch appeared in the Abaculus 2007 anthology which is still available from Amazon.

Some ramblings on my various interests and hobbies, past and present, can be viewed here.
