About the speaker
My name is Rob Trent.
I'm a happy retired Grandad, living in Southampton!
I have a disability, which means I'm unable to do very much for myself. Despite this (or maybe because), I had a 33 year full-time career in IT. It wasn't easy, but I did it. And I'll tell you how I did it.
Our events are for adults aged 16 years and over.
