UK

I was born in Bradford, a very multicultural place. Didn't go far in education - instead, went to do some fun physical work on the deli at my local supermarket. Eventually I was rescued by a fabulous lady from head office who decided to give me a shot at programming (after some pursuasion from my parents I might add).

I grew into a top notch developer if I do say so myself! Industry taught and as it turns out, it's something I have a natural talent for anyway.

After fifteen incredible years, I've since parted ways with them and can lately be found at a friendly little software house, dabbling in database, .net and all sorts of analytical stuff during my working day.

In my free time I play every videogame under the sun, or I develop my own. I started to make one in XNA called animal space, but got bored because of having to code every miniscule thing. I'm now playing with Construct2 instead - it's fun being able to get away from coding and worry about art and design.

I'm very opinionated, but I'm also very honest. Guess it's the yorkshire blood.
