About KCM

I'm a controversialist, catalyst and facilitator, quietly enabling others to develop by providing different ideas and views of the world. Born in London in the early 1950s and initially trained as a research chemist I retired as a senior project manager after 35 years in the IT industry. Retirement is about community give-back and finding some equilibrium. Secretary Emeritus of the Anthony Powell Society; Chairman of my GP's patient group.

Eccentric looks at life through the thoughts of a retired working thinker

You got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going,
because you might not get there.
