About Me

I obtained a Honours degree in Physics in 1999 from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth which is a stunning place to study if, like me, you can’t be dealing with the hassle of inner city life. I also have qualifications in Mathematics and Chemistry. Being attracted back to Worcestershire I found a job as a radar engineer with QinetiQ designing military radars. During my time at QinetiQ I lived on a narrowboat and due to not having mains power became interested in renewable energy systems. This led to a fascination in self sustainability and the design/engineering of wind turbines, water power etc.

After leaving QinetiQ I started working in television as a on-screen engineer/scientist on the BBC’s ‘It’s Not East Being Green’ with Dick Strawbridge. Since then I have worked on many productions both on and off camera.

I am passionate about all aspects of science and engineering and love classic cars. I was the technical officer and chief judge the Austin A30/A35 Owners Club and like to build contraptions of all sorts. I play guitar, mandolin and bass and am obsessed with fireworks and pyrotechnics.
