I am Robin,

I was born on the 11th of December 1987, since then I’ve been through my education from nursery to Masters this means I'm now in a full time job.

Since I was old enough to use a screw driver I found great fun in dismantling anything, it was at least ten years before I learnt to put them back together, even now it doesn’t always happen. Since a young age I’ve loved lego, I still do, just now I should have money to buy it (but I don’t).

From nursery to junior school I went to Chandlers Field school. One of my best memories was building a race car from kinex, well and the motor from an electric car :D. In the hall we raced them, by the time most people’s had moved a meter mine had done the full length of the hall in seconds.

During this time I started Gymnastics and have been doing it ever since, I’ve also been a qualified gymnastics coach longer than snorkelling and also a trained judge for gymnastics.

It was at the age of 10 I found KEJSC, I wanted to scuba dive so came along to KEJSC only to find out I had to be 12, but I could learn snorkelling with KEJSC. Two years after I started snorkelling? I was still snorkelling in fact it wasn’t until I was 21 that I finally got round to scuba diving.

From CFS I went to Rydens finishing my GCSE’s with Music, Art, Drama and Engineering (not that that’s an odd mix). Engineering was defiantly the right course for me (by this time was able to put things back together again).

Brooklands college was my next stop, a national diploma in electrical and electronic engineering (thus started my love of long course titles). Two years spent building circuits and programming stuff was a great two years.

Finally university Kingston University, Studying a Masters in Aerospace & Astronautics Engineering. In this time I built rockets, planes, wings ran propeller engines, jet engines, wind tunnels, flew rockets and spent a lot of time on a motorbike. Best memory, sat in a wind tunnel bolting in a rapid prototyped delta wing I help my mate design and model, later on filling the workshop with smoke as we ran tests.

Outside of education (and taking stuff apart) I enjoy quite a few other things which include rock climbing, motor biking, skiing (ok just started), scuba diving, squash and getting into sailing slowly, so pretty much whatever I actually get round to doing I enjoy.

Anyway that covers my education and hobbies, now we have work. I work for an IT company and I work in space (well not literally just in that area of work). And I love it.
