Wheel of Riches*

About

My name is Richard James Keys. I was ‘Born & Bred’ in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

I’m currently 23 24 (going on 40) years old. 24 is also the atomic number of Chromium (I have a bit of a thing for the periodic table).

Interests

I’ve always had a massive interest in technology.

In recent years this has fuelled my passion for everything Web, as well as my enthusiasm for Apple iOS development.

I also enjoy the outdoors – Scouting has been a big part of my life for as long as I remember.

Other things I like to spend my time doing include rock climbing, reading, movies & video games.

Location

After commuting from Barnsley for over a year, I decided it was time to move. I'm now living in Halifax.

I’m back at home, this time for a long time!

Where am I right now?

It looks like I’ve fell off the grid for a while. Please try later.

Music

I’m a big fan of music. I play guitar and provide vocals in a two-piece ensemble with my long-time friend and housemate. It’s been a while since we gigged, but we’re currently practicing a new set and are hoping to get back into it.
