I am a climate change professional i.e., I work to reduce the carbon emissions of my employer, and have been interested in the field most of my life. In my spare time I am a coach to track & field athletes, and a musician and songwriter (though I no-longer perform with a band).I am married and live in Essex. We own an Old English Sheepdog ( otherwise known in the UK as a Dulux dog) who pretty much runs the house. I've previously owned Border Collies and a Bedlington Terrier. I'm interested in other cultures and histories, and in other countries' sporting 'culture'.
