He started his career making kit cars in the 1970s and continued to design many objects. About 10 years ago he came to Gloucestershire to study CNC machining technique in order to persuade one of his designs. He is very enthusiastic when it comes to design or life.  He is like a poet when it comes to design. Even Corona virus lock-down did not bother him, he was very busy and he has a poetic expression of a new invention – not a vaccine, but a good one.
