I had two family members involved in World War I: two great-uncles. One of them is on a memorial in France. And the other was a trench runner who survived the war. The average life span of a trench runner was 36 hours but he survived the whole war.
Even as a young boy my passion was to design and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that.
