I am based in Somerset, UK and have been an Access developer for over 25 years. I was appointed as an Access MVP in 2022.

I spent many years in secondary education including responsibility for data analysis. After taking early retirement from teaching, I setup Mendip Data Systems to distribute Access applications to businesses, schools and developers. My website https://isladogs.co.uk includes many Access articles, example apps, sample code and security challenges, together with commercial applications for businesses, schools and developers. I also have a YouTube channel.

My focus is on stretching the boundaries of what can be achieved using Access.
