I was born in Rochford, Essex, the son of Michael and Brenda Jessey (née Chorley) and spent most of my childhood in Ashtead, Surrey. Between 1988 and 2001, I worked as a videotape editor for a Wandsworth-based corporate video production company. Following an internet romance, I met and married an American web developer. I am now a part-time college instructor, web designer, web standards evangelist and full-time Wikipedian.
Politics and religion
I would describe myself loosely as a conservative liberal. From the liberal perspective I am pro-choice (although I'd rather see abortion avoided, of course), a secularist, and I believe strongly in free speech; however, I advocate minimizing the tax burden and reducing state intervention. Although I am generally in favor of small government, I believe there are some social support structures that are absolutely necessary and must not be compromised for the sake of low taxes (health care, education, social security, etc.). I dislike government corruption, lobbying, and any kind of pork barrel politics. I would categorize myself as an explicit atheist, insofar as I regard the concept of a god or gods to be ridiculous. I think that religion (particularly "organized" religion) does more harm than good, and should be actively discouraged.
