After graduating,  he worked in computer modelling of forest  growth at Bangor University. On March 1st 1974 he was appointed at UCW,  Aberystwyth to run the Programming Advisory Service. In summer 1979 he  became involved with developing computer graphics and in 1984 he set up  the microcomputer service to maintain and build microcomputers for the University in-house. He was head of this service until the convergence of  Library, Computing and Audio Visual Aids in 1995. He was appointed as  Deputy Director of Information Services in 1996.
