Live in Horsham, West Sussex in the UK
Head of Architecture at the UK Civil Aviation Authority - currently based at London Gatwick Airport

Commenced IT career in early 80's in Programming then into field engineering & technical support from 1984.

Joined Experts-Exchange in the last couple of months of 2005 and, after receiving assistance on one of my own issues, realised that I could maybe provide similar help to people on ISA Server and the more complex networking issues generally.  

Made Experts-Exchange Cleanup Volunteer (CV) then also Page Editor (PE) for a number of Topic Areas in 2006 although mainly Networking and Security. When the site moved to its new format in early 2007, took on the Zone Advisor (ZA) role for all of the  Networking Zone and its component areas.
