Chris Wood is a computer programmer, climate activist, philosopher and grandfather.
He marched with Rock against Racism in the 1970’s, hitch-hiked around Europe and worked as a despatch rider before teaching himself programming and starting a software company.
Chris has worked with Exeter’s youth offending team, been a children’s advocate and, on occasion, jumped out of perfectly fine aeroplanes.
He has also studied philosophy and psychology at Oxford as a mature student.
His software development company had offices in Surrey and California until the family moved to Devon at the turn of the millennium for a radical life change.
