Everything You Need To Know About Me & More...

From a very early age, I always expressed a keen interest and a flare in ICT and won the award of excellence in secondary school. My studies continued from GNVQ ICT to AVCE ICT at secondary school before I took the big step into the world of university where I attended the university of Wolverhampton and studied BSC (Hons) Computer Science. Throughout my academic career I have always achieved high grades and over excelled in any subject area I have studied within ICT and Computer Science.

My work experience has proven beneficial to the position I'm in now. I began my "working life" as a customer services officer at a college. Where I gathered essential skills that in my opinion many "computer scientists" lack I learnt that communication was fundamental for anything to succeed and was put into numerous situations where communication was critical... working on reception, the call centre or front facing enrolling students over the busy summer enrolling period (why I hear you ask? because it involves talking to people face to face instead of over the internet).

I then worked in e-marketing for the second largest postal company in Europe where I was "the internet guy" ensuring the many intranet and internet websites were all maintained whilst following Google trends each month to ensure successful search engine optimisation (SEO). I was also heavily involved with any email campaigns... produced statistics that were presented to the highest level of staff within the company.

*Yawn* the story goes on... I then worked as an ICT Consultant for an award winning government funded project within the West Midlands... the experience I gained was amazing I was involved with projects from start to finish, meeting clients... analysis... design... development... testing... support.... and even the delivery of seminars! (how many computer scientists have done that!... not many I can assure you). To the world of computer scientists this is referred to as the software development life cycle... to ordinary people this is known as "geek talk".

"1 day I will be rich... the way I'll do it is through the internet"

*Double yawn* to further myself I am now certified, the certification is from the w3c schools to anybody who isn't a web related individual w3c are the organisation/dudes who set the guidelines for how websites should be built. Allowing me to apply standards that are current to the industry whilst building/developing websites.

Ok... your still reading? if you contact me with the promotional code im_still_reading112 I will give you 5% off any package deal within the offer section of this website! bet your pleased you kept reading now. Anyway since you read that  I imagine I should tell you a little about me it figures right?

• I enjoy playing guitar and have been playing from a young age.
• I enjoy keeping fit and I'm currently involved with runs for charity including cancer research uk.
• I play golf although I'm not very good at it I still enjoy it (even more so if it's sunny outside).
• Internet marketing, perhaps you didn't want to read it but visit another site of mine http://www.6packsuccess.com (it's not made me rich yet though!).
• Photography and design, this sounds very art like but I like doing both of these. I suppose I just enjoy making things look good.
• Poetry, I enjoy writing poetry when I'm not sat at a computer eating pizza all day. Did you expect that? when you read it I imagine not, but thinking along the art-y theme I guess you do now.

Ok... you surely don't want to know any more do you? If you do you can always contact me and ask whatever you feel relevent.
