Biography
Dave Lewis lectures IT & Photography in his hometown of
Pontypridd. He also designs web sites, is a keen photographer and writer. He
has always lived in Wales except for a short spell in Kenya in 1993-94
but enjoys travelling to different parts of the world.
He has had a varied existence to date, and worked as a builders
labourer, plastic engineer, financial advisor, zoologist, photographer,
doorman, actor (one Bollywood film!), schoolteacher, software engineer,
BBC website producer, librarian, cyber cafe manager and local newspaper
columnist - almost enough for a book one might say!
He has never given up dreaming of being a billionaire philanthropic rock god, not even when his first offspring came along, but may have to settle for an easier life writing poems in the woods.
