More about me
I am from Bradford originally, coming to Hull University to do an electronic engineering degree in 1986. Somehow once you get here there's no escaping!
I have been working in the professional lighting industry and also with amateur groups since my teens and have lots of experience with lighting control systems and networking. Lighting rigs continue to get bigger and more complicated and it's a fun challenge to make it all work, usually with limited time available.
I have designed the electronics and software inside a number of lighting and effects units for UK manufacturers, along with a wide range of other gadgets. I designed the original Abstract range of disco products in the 1990's which have gone on to become classics.
I write the user manuals for Avolites lighting control consoles, also I write for a number of prominent lighting fixture manufacturers.
I play keyboard and bass guitar in the church band and very occasionally at other events.
