About My Involvement With Serious Games:

Incredible Sims Ltd is a start up company design to exploit the power of Serious Games. We want to use games engines to create simulations and virtual environments to help operators of large industrial plants train in the correct spatial context. However if that was the original aim, in the last two years we have done everything but do industrial simulations. So much for the business plan.

About Me:

Mechanical engineer by trade with plenty of hands on experience but that flowed into project planning, logistics and then into e-logistics. For two years I was the senior user defining the requirements for e-hubs and various other procurement and on-line services. I them moved to London and into financial planning and business case development for another two years as the hardest part of any project is getting the finance. The engineering is the easy bit! I am now a senior programme manager. I see huge potential in serious games and virtual worlds such as SL and Incredible Sims represents a vehicle to try and exploit this.

Favorite Games:

Strategy - I am a sucker for the Civ series.
As an old D&D player, I also dabble with the on line variants. Never as good as the old board variants though.

Favorite Sports Teams:

Rugby - and Bath of course

Favorite Music:

With about 6 stereo systems, the house is always at full volume. Very eclectic but to relax I listen to the Live Lounge series.
