Strangely enough I'm not usually known as ron519098 by friends and family but simply Ron, and I live in a village in North Somerset, England.
A Scot by birth, I've lived in various parts of the West of England for the past thirty years. I am a graduate of the University of Aberdeen with an MA (Hons) in Geography. Degree studies also included geology and economic history which have meant a lifelong interest in those areas as well as in local history and various other assorted fields which take my fancy.
I work in the IT sector for a large US company and travel widely as part of my job which also involves me in the development of a variety of international (ISO) standards for risk management and information security. I have also been heavily involved in the devlopment of the national standards for these areas within the UK. Prior to that I worked in the financial services sector for a number of years in a variety of roles.
A keen photographer, I can frequently be found shivering on some god-foresaken spot waiting for the light to be "just right" for a landscape shot.(Ron519098 (talk) 08:10, 19 January 2010 (UTC))
