`
`Background
`
` Summary
`Firstly I am an inventor, secondly an entrepreneur. My love of innovation is greater than my love of
`money.
`I am the inventor of the control systems found on all Scuf Gaming products and aim to continue to
`design the very best equipment for professional and casual gamers alike.
`I have a life long passion for computer games starting with the zx81 back in the seventies. Continuing
`today with a love of FPS games and the global competitive E Sports scene.
`It's my pleasure to design and supply the world's top gamers with equipment that they love to use!

`RETIRED
`June 2015 – Present (1 year 8 months) | Every where, land and sea!
`After many years with Scuf I came to realise that Scuf simply out grew myself! My final work for Scuf
`was the Scuf Infinity controller of which I am very proud and am happy to leave Scuf on a high note.
`I am now traveling the world with my family, exploring land by Car and Sea by yacht.
`Although I am not employed I am continually coming up with new ideas/inventions it will not be to long
`before I come up with another crazy idea!
`Thanks to everyone who helped me achieve all my goals and dreams xx
