At various times Michael Greenwell has been a university tutor, a barman, a DJ (not a very good one) an office lackey, supermarket worker, president of a small charity, a researcher, a librarian and a few other things too tedious to mention. He worked in Nepal for a couple of months doing volunteer work as well South Korea where he met some nice people but didn’t have the best time. These days he is back home in Scotland somewhere in the Highlands and islands or otherwise in Glasgow.
