Started programming on a Commodore Vic 20(!), and later entered employment programming for the Mac back in the days of System 6. Soon the pull of the Dark Side became too strong and I switched to Windows (Win 3.1) and have been coding for Windows ever since.

I'm now lead programmer for a small software house in Glasgow, Scotland. Our main products include PTFB Pro, ColorCache, and LogMeister.
