about the author

Kevin Fisher
I was born in London and live in Swindon, Wiltshire, with my wife.
I left school aged 16 for a four-year apprenticeship with the Ministry of Defence, from which I obtained a Higher National Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
On leaving the MOD, I joined a multinational Information Technology corporation where, in a career spanning 30 years, I held numerous senior management positions in multiple technical roles.
