About Me
July 5th 2008
I was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex in 1981 and was raised in Uxbridge until I was 10. My mum’s job then moved us to a town called Buckingham where I spent the rest of my youth.
At the age of 18 I moved out from home and started to attend Bath University studying Computer Science. I spent two years in Bath (beautiful city, shame about all the tourists) before my course required me to seek employment for a year.
I got a job as a web developer working for Tyco Electronics in Swindon so I packed my bags and moved in. I lived and worked in Swindon for a year and it was during my time here that my eyes began to be opened to the truth about God. (I highly recommend you read my testimony to find out more about this).
So I moved back to Bath for my final year and immediately went on an Alpha course. It was through this that I finally became a Christian. So, I finish my course (I got a 2:2 which I was happy with) and start looking for a job. God already had my future in His hands though as one of the guys I worked with at Tyco Electronics left to work for Nationwide and so there was a job opening. I applied and got the job straight away. Then my friend Phil who I also worked with at Tyco was looking for a place to live so the two of us bought a house together. So I went straight from university to a career and home ownership (well part ownership). Thank you God!
I spent the next four years working for Tyco and after two years of being in Swindon I finally commit myself to a church: Swindon Family Church. I get baptised and take on the responsibility of IT and projection in the church. This role has grown recently to include managing the church website.
This all stayed the same up until 2008 when I left Tyco to work for the British Computer Society (also in Swindon) and my church changed name to Gateway Church Swindon.
…and this is where I am still at today.

Oh no, your pictures don’t seem to be working. No I have no idea what you look like! :-p Nice site btw.

Yeah, thanks for noticing Alex. I managed to break all my pictures the last time I upgraded my site. They are all back now though!

How come there’s now 4 comments on a page that doesn’t actually have anything writtens on it yet?!
What’s the difference between “about me” and “what’s happening with me?” Will the next new page be called “What I think about me” and then will you follow up with “what others think about me” but then you’d have to do one one called “the real truth about me” but then it could really get out of hand….! :-p

The “About Me” page will eventually be a write up of who I am and where I came from it should be fairly static and only change when major things change for me.
The “What’s Happening With Me?” page is all about what I’m currently doing and what’s going on in my life at the moment.
Do you see the difference!

26-ish. That’s my guess.

You haven’t said anything about your family – tell us about your crazy little brothers and your super-cool sister! I had so much fun playing hide-and-seek with Spike and seeing you walk straight into the room, look behind the door then turn and go straight back out again without seeing us both sat in the middle of the floor!! hee hee!!!
