Do you care about green IT? Very much. Trustmarque Solutions is a carbon neutral company and will continue to invest in green IT solutions.

If you could be in a rock/pop band, which one would it be and who would you be? U2, The Edge. He's the King of Cool, keeps a low profile and focuses on music, not politics!

What is the best corporate jolly you have ever been on/taken partners on? Without doubt, Comdex in Las Vegas. Unfortunately it doesn't run anymore - expense claims were too high!

Has 2009 been as bad as everyone said it would be? Not for Trustmarque but I think there is some way to go before the industry returns to growth.

Have any of your predictions come true this year? One or two but the year's not out yet…

What do you see as the channel's biggest challenge in 2010? There are many but I think the biggest single challenge is to maintain/increase margins to acceptable levels which makes writing business worthwhile.

What is the best part of your day? Watching the huge smile on my 10-month-old son's face when I wake him up.
