About the Author
I run a small information management consultancy business in the UK. Through this business we advise government and commercial clients on strategies for development of information management systems, and we also build bespoke Mac-based software and CMS-based websites for a wide range of clients.
In previous lives I have headed up technology and knowledge management departments in public and private sector organisations. I laid hands on my first Mac in 1986 and, aside from a couple of falls from grace in the dark days of the mid-90s, have been an Apple technology stalwart ever since.
I live, and whenever possible work, in a small market town in Warwickshire, in England. When I am not working my time is spent climbing and photographing mountains and raising two young children.
