What do you want to do when you grow up?

Be living in america somewhere with a nice house and a great big Kenworth truck in the driveway, chuck a few sleeping bags in the back and camp under the stars on the weekend.

Can't think of anything more wonderful.

How would your boss describe you?

Dependable. If i'm ever ill (which is very rare) she's got my mobile and knows if i'm thrown something difficult i'll have something available soon. I try to be on call 24/7, what can i say, i love my career ;-)

How would your co-workers describe you?

Probably a bit different, but hopefully very knowledgable and helpful.

I try to help out whenever asked, if i can't solve the problem on the spot you can guarantee i'll have it cracked before lunch.

Who are your role models?

That's a tough one, i'd have to say everyone in the Web 2.0 field from Eric Meyer to Molly Holzschlag; they're the kind of people I look up to as doing the things I love.

Web Design & Development has to be the best career to be in right now, so many new things are poping up everywhere and the
options are opening left-right & center.

I'd also say George Clooney, his break into movie making had a rocky start but he's got great business acumen and is not afraid to venture into something if the end-product is worth it.

What are you most passionate about?

Breaking barriers and finding the best way to get something done. Just because you've got MS Office on every laptop doesn't mean it's the ideal solution.

Also being able to do your job anywhere, on a beach, in a war-zone, your system should be flexible enough to handle any scenario.

Who was your most influential mentor and what did they teach you?

that'd have to be my maths teacher at school, Michael (something), he was great and a real pal when you got stuck.

Other than that it'd be Richard Shreeve, my college teacher, he was good at pushing you to succeed. Which i did and won an award at!

What was your first job?

Building a Stock Taking system for my local hotel.

It was a challenge as my college wanted me to go out and get a placement for my Work Experience, forcing me to go out and phone up places and negotiate something for myself. Convincing them they need me, lots of fun and well worth it!. I'd
