About a hundred years ago, give or take, Chris blagged his way into Cambridge to read Natural Sciences and Computer Science. He’s spent much of his career since then in corporate life; a great deal of it in the travel industry. He’s an MBA, with Distinction, and for over a decade he’s written on emerging technologies and corporate strategy for a professional audience. He began studying martial arts when he was eight years old, to get out of piano lessons. He’s still at it, and he still can’t play the piano.

He lives in the Heavy Woollen District of West Yorkshire with his wife, Sue, his Parson Jack Russell terrier, Fudd, and his gravel bike.
