Star Wars

I have been a Star Wars fan since receiving a Decipher Star Wars: Customizable Card Game starter pack aged eight. I love the films, TV series and comics.

Maths, Stats and Programming

Some would call the first two work, but I find all three a pleasant way to pass an evening.

I am a Stack Exchange contributor, mostly to Cross Validated.

Politics

I follow UK politics keenly. My views are progressive and social democratic. I am a member of the UK Labour Party but have voted for other parties during my lifetime.

The rest…

I live in Devon with my wife Lucy, my two children Mair and Keir, and my two dogs, Jasper and Indie. I attend Totnes United Free church.
