Simon is thirty-seven and lives in a picturesque village in North Yorkshire, England with his wife and two dogs. Educated at a traditional Grammar School, then a Polytechnic, and finally a University, he studied Classical History which he loves and has remained his driving force.

After education, Simon went on to a wide catalogue of jobs, including data entry, carrying paint pots, validating sheep claims, selling job lots of cars, maintaining insurance policies, I.T. Management and now software engineering (with intermittent bar-work and paintball marshalling.)
