Although Steve never started out in computing, he nevertheless maintained an early interest, installing his first computer for an SSVC (SKC) customer in 1983, later studying programming in the mid eighties. After a change in direction in the mid nineties, he qualified as a further and adult education teacher (Computing), studying a range of application and skill in support of business and education, further gaining from educational consultancies, schooling and developing information technology; combining ICT, teaching and technical experience in founding PCWorkspace in 2002.

Earlier working as an ICT/ECDL Distributed Electronic (Distance) Learning Tutor, Steve had taught, and supported tutors, in further education for a number of years including activities in retirement, with a spell lecturing in computer science, more recently adding to his know-how while on contract with BT as a field (IT and Broadband) engineer in the East Midlands.

Now with over ten year practical experience, many of them as a field engineer, Steve has gained a wealth of experience in computing, and in providing personal computer services to the end user, home and small enterprise.
