Keith Roden

Born in Wolverhampton on March 10th 1979. Keith's parents are David Roden and Jennifer Mary Sansome. Keith has one younger brother Thomas Roden. Keith's first school was Old Fallings Infant School in Wolverhampton. He then went to Old Fallings Junior School. Keith's father, David, then got a new job which meant that the family had to move to Pinner in Middlesex. It was here that Keith went to Cannon Lane Middle School in Pinner. Cannon Lane's most famous link is that it was the middle school that Reginald "Elton John" Dwight was schooled at. Due to David's training being completed after just six month's, the family then moved to Hazlemere, near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire. Once in Hazlemere, Keith enrolled at Manor Farm School in Hazlemere. He then went on to secondary school at Holmer Green Upper School in Holmer Green, near High Wycombe. But, before the start of Year 11, Keith's father's job forced another move of home. This time, Keith's family moved to Church Crookham near Fleet in Hampshire. It was here that Keith was destined to stay. For one final year of schooling, Keith attended Court Moor School in Fleet, Hampshire. After school was finished and Keith achieved his GCSE's, he then went on to further education at Farnborough College Of Technology in Farnborough to study on a GNVQ Advanced Level in Art and Design. This course lasted for two years, during which he had a part time job at a newsagents in Church Crookham. In 1997, Keith then attended the Surrey Institute of Art And Design in Farnham, studying on a BTEC Diploma in General Art & Design. Unfortunately, Keith decided that the course that he was doing was not right for him and he decided to drop out from University and enter full-time employment at Welcome Break Fleet Services in 1999. Keith has worked there ever since. Now, Keith is a Catering Inventory/Stores Clerk for Welcome Break Fleet Services on the M3 Motorway.

However, Keith is now experimenting with his own destiny. Being a fan of computers, Keith is now studying for a Microsoft Gold Certified Certificate as a Database Specialist via a home study course by Advent IT Training. Keith is also an active user of Facebook and Twitter and has just recently become a member of myartspace.com where he is exhibiting his new found love for art. Under the new name of Mindquake, Keith is creating art using the computer. Keith believes that without computers, Man would still be living in the Dark Ages. Keith himself describes his art as "Modern Cuboid Abstractions".

Keith is also married to Tanya Lavelle. This happy occasion occurred on December 16th 2006. They have no children as yet, but as Keith says "There is plenty of time for all that stuff yet!"
