I am now in my forth decade and have been a Electrical & Mechanical Engineer for twenty odd years. I live in Southern England with a wife two kids & two cats called "Missy B" and Ant.
I work for a very large company that are well known for the upkeep of some of the UK's most well known MOD buildings.
I started the Dirk Maggs web site as there is no other (so far as I know) web site dedicated to the work of a radio director & producer in the world.
It did take me a while to find out who the director was of some of the radio shows that I liked. It took even more time to find out just how much work he had done.
I also wanted to highlight just how good the people in Radio are, pay back something in my own way for some of the good times I have had while listening to the very best radio in the world bar none.
I also wanted to have a web site & learn something about html & all that, a Dirk Maggs web site looked like a good project. I knew that as it was a very specialist subject,
the hits to the web site would only ever be at a max of 10000 a day, but getting hits was not, and is still not the sole reason for the web site.
It's as I said a learning tool, also a source of information on all the work that I can find that Dirk has done.
It goes without saying that not too long after the web site was setup that I got a email. It was from Dirk who was very kind about the site,
he had fallen off his chair when doing a web search with his name and a web site came up all about him!
The hits to the site sit in the 1000-3000 a day, I have had some good feedback from many people, I would like to say thanks for all your suggestions and corrections.
I create music currently some 30+ albums so far and still going strong mostly Trance, Tech Step the web site is http://www.dwilliams.dswilliams.co.uk/
I also write, currently some five radio plays 2 screen plays and 5 books one a history of how all the elements in the periodic table where found and what they are.
Written for fun and to see if I could do it.
My other main interest is Buggying with large traction kites, getting up to 40-60mph 3 inches above the ground in a 3 wheeled buggy complete with no brakes.
