I have been a lifelong Arsenal fan following my Dad's team since attending the 79 Cup Final when I was 8.

I live in the Isle of Man with my wife Emma and son Jack and work for as an account director for a local data hosting and connectivity service provider called Wi-Manx.

I have always been interested in technology from an early age and when I get time I like to develop websites.

I first joined the OA community in 2004 when there was just a handful of members. I was asked by Sosh who founded OA to take over the reigns in 2008, since then I have tried to make Online Arsenal a great place for fans to come and discuss our teams successes and failures in an environment that lends itself to banter and intelligent conversation.

Along with our admins and moderators we are still as committed as ever to bringing you a website to make friends, have a laugh and most of all bring a small chunk of the fans together.
