About Me
Many things: a husband & parent, an Oxford graduate & post-grad with the Open University 'innovations in e.learning.' A professional swimming teacher & coach. Loves to paint, draw, write, sail & ski. Rarely has the time or cash for much of the latter. OCD in the bloggosphere having been 'at it' since 1999. A couple of short films produced & broadcast, too many screenplays in boxes & novels on discs or in the envelope in which they were returned from an agent. Over 130 training, information & communications 'films' produced, written &/or directed in the UK & France. Had some fun in broadcast TV too in France.
