Highlights of your career?

Whenever I broke a story that helped people right a wrong. It’s one of the most satisfying things for a journalist to do.

What malware do you hate the most?

Ransomware, especially when used to target public services and the vulnerable. It’s completely unforgivable.

What is your golden rule for cyberspace?

There’s always time to think before you click.

Favorite activities:

Mountain biking. Dinghy and keelboat racing when time allows

When did you get your first computer and what kind was it?

BBC Micro Model B hooked up to a black and white 12” CRT TV. 

Favorite computer game / activity?

Getting thrashed by my kids at Mario Kart every single time we play. They never give me a break, and now they give me driving tips whenever I take them anywhere in the car.

What titles have you worked on in the past?

I’ve worked on a lot of other titles, but these are the three that stand out for me:

Computer Reseller News UK - Features Editor
