About me...

I currently work with Manchester Business School. I'm a social media/computing/networking guy, so I spend my time thinking about how blogs, wikis and podcasts can be used in organisations. That's what we're doing with TALK.

When I'm not working I'm listening to music or travelling here and there. To me there's nothing better than the freedom that travel affords you and I've had some of the best experiences of my life whilst being out and about.

Someday I'll get the chance to do another extended trip. I find you need a good 3 months and no agenda to really let those shoulders relax.

Anyway, drop me a line. Let's talk.
