About Me
I'm Simon Jerram. I was born and grew up in Manchester. I studied at Birmingham University and the Manchester Metropolitan University.

Day Job
I currently work as a Software Engineer, primarily on a menu system for a device which runs linux. I have a bit of experience with the start up process and in C and C++ programming, but am quite adaptable.

Scouting
I'm a warrented Scout Leader, and am currently one of the Leaders of the Headingley Blacksheep Explorer Scout Unit. I'm also a member of the Scout and Guide Graduate Association, was Registrar until my term of office finished last April. Before joining SAGGA I was a member of various SSAGO clubs, however being a member of SSAGO is not a pre-requisite for joining SAGGA, and neither is being a graduate for that matter.

I was the Secretary of the team planning GaSCiT 2003. This was a patrol camp for Scouts & Guides who would not get to go camping in 2003, and was fully supported to build confidence and skills in leaders and children alike. I worked on the early stages of SAGGA's 2007 project supporting the 21st World Scout Jamboree

Other Stuff
I'm also friends with a bunch of reprobates who are mostly Doctor Who fans, and we meet when we can to talk about.... well mostly anything but Who.

I am a member of the Liberal Democrats.
