I'm 78 years old and a retired production planner. I orginally qualified as an analytical chemist and spent most of my working life in the pharmaceutical industry.

I was born in the north east of England, live in Newcastle upon Tyne and I have lived and worked in the area all of my life.

Interests include family and local history, walking and geocaching.

I have been married to Yvonne for 39 years in February (2023) .
