My name is Paul Geoffrey Hardy, usually just referred to as Paul Hardy. I was born in 1953.

I am an Englishman, curently living back in England, and working for ESRI(UK). For three years through 2004/5/6 I was exiled in Redlands, California, USA, and working as Product Manager for Cartography at ESRI ^[1].

My areas of expertise include computers (ancient and modern), cartography, maps and mapmaking, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), computer graphics, the English concertina (squeezebox musical instrument), and the regions around Cambridge in England and Redlands in California.

I intend to contribute to Wikipedia in several of these areas.

My interests include hiking, travel/tourism, and reading, particularly SF (Science Fiction), and in the past have also included campanology (church bell-ringing) and dinghy sailing.

I have been married since 1977 to Margaret. We have no children, but we were foster parents for many years.
