Overview
I joined the firm in 2018, taking on the role of IT Manager at the time, before becoming the firm’s IT Director.
With a degree in Software Engineering (Hons), I ran my own software development house before joining the firm.
During late 2001, I side-stepped into IT, choosing to work for a pre-employment screening agency. In 2004, I entered the legal sector and became the IT Manager for Wynne Baxter, and was instrumental in the firm’s IT merger with Mayo & Perkins, forming Mayo Wynne Baxter, where I headed up a team supporting 9 offices. I left the firm in late 2009, and took the role of IT Manager for Rawlison Butler; I remained with the firm for over 7 years, completely overhauling its IT infrastructure and driving forward operational efficiency. Following another merger, I became the IT Manager for DMH Stallard before leaving the firm to join Bennett Griffin.
With over 20 years of experience in IT Management and legal IT, I am continuously developing Bennett Griffin’s IT capability, ensuring that the firm is well-placed to embrace the economic challenges ahead through the correct application of technology.
When away from the office, I enjoy burying my head in my own world, having published five fantasy novels globally, with a sixth in the works, and am now an Amazon Best Selling author. I also enjoy web applications development – being an accomplished software developer – and like to spend time tabletop gaming, sword fighting, paintballing and windsurfing (albeit the latter two are more of a distant memory now, given the challenges of raising an extremely active son with my wife).
