I've been described as thoughtful, smart, musical, strong, patient, sensitive, loving, calm, intuitive. I grew up in England, spent the 90s working all over the world, and ended up in central Ohio. My family is still back in England. I have a wonderful five year old daughter. I sing in the choir at my church and enjoy it very much. I play the violin occasionally, play badminton twice a week -- I love it -- and Scrabble, when I can find someone to play with. I recently started cooking vegetarian meals and I'm really enjoying it -- some of my dishes are actually edible. I miss the big cities (I've lived in London, Philadelphia, Tokyo and Hong Kong, and worked in New York, Sydney, Singapore, Paris, Toronto and Dublin).

Right now I'm a technology consultant. My career objective is to enjoy every day at work.

Scrabble. Writing. Intuition. Listening.

My English accent.

My daughter, God's love. Those are enough for six.

How to be a better father. Why the dishwasher doesn't empty itself. Midlife. The characters in Lost. My parents.
