After starting with COBOL programming at a retail bank in the UK, Martin to work at a transportation company to and began exploring both the US and requirements analysis, design and implementation of integrating legacy systems.

After his project was complete, Martin moved to a software company, bringing his valuable client's point of view to their discussions. During expansion, Martin moved back to Europre (Paris this time) to manage European operations in partnership with IBM. By the 90's, Martin decided to get back to the business of actually producing solutions and he took a sabbatical to retrain in OO development (C++ and Java) and add to his teaching qualifications.

While Martin was writing and delivering courses as an independent contractor, Sun Microsystems approached him to join their staff of Java trainers. Martin stayed with Sun until 2004, when Accenture took on Sun's training.  While there he added System Architecture to his range of expertise.

Martin still loves travelling, the entire subject of Information Technology, and meeting people. As an instructor, he gets to do all these things at once.
