I was born in Eastbourne, England. Our family moved to Canada in 1957. I retired in January 1997 after 32 years with the Ford Motor Co. of Canada. Since retiring I have earned both a Business Internet and a webmaster certificate from Mohawk College in Hamilton. I curl in the winter at Glendale Golf and Country Club which was founded in 1919 and play golf in the summer at Dunnville Golf & Country Club, founded in 1924. I have been a volunteer at  McMaster University Hospital since April 2000.

My interests include trains and public transit around the world, especially in the UK, Europe and North America.  I have been a member of preservation groups supporting both the Bluebell Railway, and Worth Valley Railway in the UK and the Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railway in New Mexico/Colorado.

 I am the past webmaster to the East Sussex Omnibus Society (formerly the Eastbourne Omnibus Society) and I have an interest in the 1950's era buses of  Southdown Motor Services as well as the London Transport Executive, East Kent Road Car Company and Maidstone & District Traction Company.
