I have worked in the IT industry since 1976 and was honoured to work with Apple Computer in the UK from 1979 when the PC industry was in its infancy. I established Taxan (Europe) Ltd in 1985 and over next 18 years managed a business which sold 5 million monitors and graphics adaptors. My personal goal was to own and manage my own business and this was realised when I co-founded TrustedReviews.com in 2003 followed by the acquisition of bit-tech.net in 2005. The sale of both companies (TrustedReviews.com in 2007 to Time Warner/IPC Media and bit-tech.net in 2008 to Dennis Publishing) completed my ultimate goal. Now I'm really excited to be working with Net Communities part time as Non-Executive Chairman.
