My experience and values
Originally from the North East, I spent 23 years in the Royal Air Force. I spent this time working as an Electronics Technician on Airfield and Air Defence Radar systems. In addition to this, I also worked within the Telecommunications field. I completed the last 5 years of my service as an IT Network Administrator. Notably gaining Microsoft MCSE and MCSA certifications.
I left the Armed Forces in 2003. After that, I joined the IT department of a major privately owned company within the Oil and Gas sector. Working as an IT Systems Engineer with management responsibility for the networks and data storage requirements of multiple survey vessels, I gained valuable experience in remote vessel communications and custom-made infrastructures.
Life outside Breakwater
In my spare time, I spend many relaxing hours on the Norfolk Broads on my narrowboat “Water Tiger”. Also an avid motorcyclist, I fulfilled a dream of owning a classic-style Triumph Bonneville T100 A2. I went touring the views of Scotland up to and around Loch Lomond, the Isle of Skye, and Loch Ness.
