I'm in my late forties and a Professional Engineer by trade working mostly within the Pharmaceuticals Industry either designing, maintaining or installing equipment.

My hobbies include  modelling - especially radio controlled aircraft, camping, sailing, and tinkering with computers.

I've also helped out and been a leader in both Scouts and the new Explorer Scout Units (that's where the Skippy came from!) as well as helping with Scout administration tasks.

Since our recent move to Devon I've not done much Scouting but may take it up again when we're settled.

Both me and my son 'Staceman' are active flyers of radio controlled models and now also slope soar off the cliffs.
