Personal background
I'm 49 years old. I've spent most of my working life in the 'City' of London, where I've been a specialist in fixed income securities - I've run both sales and trading desks for a decade.
Now I've retired...but I've always been a keen computer hobbyist, having written my first programs way back in 1976 ! Suddenly, my skills as a VB developer coupled with my business experience has opened up a whole new career for me.

I joined the SETI program as the result of a friend, who has enjoyed our admiration and respect over the years. He it was, that invited me amd many others to join the MVPs team...and I'm pleasedv to do so.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I truly believe that amongst the trillions of stars, that man cannot be alone in reaching this level of intelligence. I am an avid sci-fi reader, so I'm probably fairly biased anyways.

I do not think its wise to advertise ourselves...look at how the 'civilised' world conquered Africa, Asia and South America. We're potentially inviting aliens to do it to us! Now that's scary...
