About me

I am a 44 year old gentleman currently living in Bangkok, Thailand with my family. However I am a born and bred Scot who worked in the Civil Engineering industry as a Highway Engineer for 20 years. I have also worked as a share trader and continue to do this. I have written for a number of sites including Associated Content where i wrote a lot of sports articles particularly about English football (soccer) and also other topics which interest me. I also wrote for Constant Content on topics as diverse as astronomy, lakes, State Parks and soccer. I enjoy researching and writing articles as well as turining my hand to the odd short story or creative writing. I have written many articles for Helium on a range of topics and will continue to do so in the future.
