My interest in doing math in unusual ways started when I was a child struggling to learn numbers, my grandfather took me under his wing and showed me how he was taught way back in 1930. He showed me ways to learn that my school teachers didn't understand.

I left school and studied mechanical engineering where I quickly found better ways to do the calculations that I needed for my career.

For over 26 years I worked as an engineer and my math tricks enabled me to push my calculator to the side and use my brain to work out complex math quicker than my colleagues that used a calculator.
