“

I was a Geek and a Nerd before the term was even invented – I was always passionate about technology, my drive was to learn about everything to do with computing, design and making our world a more productive environment – I love the way that we all embrace computing into our lives, I see how it has enriched my children and their grandparents in many so unexpected and exciting ways – there are so many opportunities at both a personal and business level – never under estimate the power of technology – embrace it
