The Facts:

My name is Andy "Jasper" Reed.

I currently live in Telford, Shropshire and have been married to my wife Kim for 25 (silver!) wonderful years. I am the father of three boys of whom I am very proud - they are Sam 18, Jim 21 and Joel 24.

I attended Woodfield Avenue then Highfields schools in Wolverhampton. After leaving Secondary education I spent four years at Derby (Bishop) Lonsdale College, where I picked up my nickname 'Jasper', reading for a degree in Maths and Education, it was during this time that I met my wife Kim. After leaving Lonsdale College I spent one year at Scraptoft College, Leicester, gaining a PGCE in Maths.

I enjoyed four great years as a Maths teacher in High Wycombe and Telford before taking up a career with a US based IT company, I am now working for an IT company based in Paris.

My main hobbies are squash and amateur dramatics!
