Our Wedding photos are up at long last!
About me...
I'm Michael Ross, Mike to my friends, various other things to my enemies! I'm 36, a Highlander born and bred, from Dingwall, a small town to the north of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. I'm an IT professional, mainly involved in network hardware and software. Current job title is QA Analyst. I'm married to a wonderful person, Diana Gordon - we've been 'together' for 14 years and finally got married in 1998. The photographs to prove it are here...
I was educated at Dingwall Academy, then went to Glasgow University where I studied geology, then a postgrad course in IT. In the second year of my degree I met Diana, and when we had finished our degrees we went to Cambridge, where I started my career (as in career off the road and hit sheep) in the IT business, whilst Diana buried herself in a vacuum chamber and completed a PhD in physical chemistry. Following this long, colourful, spectacularly successful academic pursuit of science, she promptly went to the City to trade junk bonds...
We've been living in Cambridge, UK, for the last few years,
but have now moved to the USA where Diana & I will be working
for the next few years, on and off.

I like Warp, it doesn't come from... well, you know
