Welcome

I'm a web developer, working in Newcastle, well more at home these days. I love the challenge it brings! I regularly listen to Syntax with Wes and Scott, and Jack over at Darknet Diaries. Before I was a web developer I was a primary teacher. It was great fun teaching young minds, I do miss the classroom. I live with my wife, my 8 year old son and my 4 year old daughter. we have been married for 11 years. In my spare time I like to jog and making things with wood. But sometimes it's nice to just chill out working through a sudoku or play on the Playstation.
