Career:

I got a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of London. I worked as a Lotus engineer on active suspension, aerodynamics, electronics and vehicle dynamics.

How did you get involved in the project?

While talking to John Davis, and old boss of mine, I was musing aloud on how my active suspension experience was not being used to good effect. John knew about the ThrustSSC project and knew there would be a chance that I could get involved. Of course I did!

Responsibilities in the UK:

I am responsible for vehicle systems, including hydraulics, electronics and suspension, data telemetry and associated "stuff".

Responsibilities in Jordan and the US:

These don't change much while we are away.

Previous crazy ventures:

My life!

Car:

Citroen BX GTi

Favourite Music:

Any type with notes, although I was a punk in the '70s.

What sort of books would you read if you had the time?

I enjoy reading sci-fi and whatever Ruth gives me. I've just read the last in the 2001 series by Arthur C. Clarke.

Hobbies:

None.

What do you want to do when the project is over?

No idea.

What have you learned from this experience?

Not to do it again!
