Where to begin? Well, a very long career that started with a couple of years long before IT was a commercial 'must have', in Pembrokeshire (Midland Bank, Haverfordwest in 1979, if you're asking) and finally brought me back to the county in 2007.

Although on returning here I spent the first 18 months having little to do with the local business community. I was still running a company and several long term projects based in and around London, the North West, Scotland and Cardiff. As somebody who hates travelling outside Pembs these days: what was I thinking?!

So I had little time to get involved here; but I've recently run down these interests and am really excited to get stuck in to what's going on in Pembs and make a contribution.

Time off...

I can easily fall into conversation about:

• Fly fishing for trout
• Target rifle and handgun shooting (only just!)
• Formula One
• Ferrari road cars: 1970 to 2000 (note to self: must get that Mastermind application in sometime!)
• Banksy v. Rolf Harris
• Italy, California and Tobago
• The state of the nation
