Born in Rhondda, Wales, he received his Bachelor of Science in Economics and Social Science and PhD in Computing from University of Wales College, Cardiff.[1]

Before taking up an academic post, he worked for several years in the UK as a computer programmer and business analyst, in both in the public and private sectors.[2] He entered academia in the mid 1980s and has held positions at the University of Glamorgan, Swansea University and most recently at Cardiff University. His inter-disciplinary interests began with this PhD thesis which considered the application of computing in ethnography.
