A personal statement

  

I spent my early adult years as a guitarist/songwriter before returning to University at the age of 32. My interest in how the world works led me into Economics and Demography during which time I discovered a taste and aptitude for engaging with technical issues. Success now means establishing my reputation as a person who can apply rigorous logic and creative imagination to the task of making the tools for analysis and reporting. I've set about continually improving my ability as a coder while promoting a cooperative, businesslike, and positive approach to working with others. I'm now seeking opportunities to direct my career towards web development.

I was born in 1954 in Heidelberg, Germany; am an American national but resident in Britain with two British sons by my first marriage and one British stepson by my second.

  
 

My leisure interests include football, having followed my sons into the game. I manage and play for a 'veterans' (over 35) team and hold a season ticket for a prominent East Anglian professional team. I also enjoy playing the guitar and singing and occasionally penning a song or poem.
