I was born and educated in New Zealand. I studied Physics at University. I worked in the Electronics industry from 1980 to 2001. During this time I also worked in Oman and Egypt. Since 2005 I have been running an internet company (www.localsurveyorsdirect.co.uk). I have a family history website www.jjhc.info. I am a member of Winchester Rotary Club. I am one of the organisers of the Clarendon Marathon (www.clarendon-marathon.co.uk).
