Dirk Oliver was born in 1946 in Porthcawl. He left school at 16 to take an apprenticeship in a major steelworks and qualified as an electrician at the age of 20.
In May 1982, he bought a second-hand ZX81 and taught himself programming from scratch. This turned out to be a fairly lengthly process but by the following year he had bought himself a Spectrum and has never looked back.
Dirk is married with four children, all of whom show a great interest in computers and games. Apart from programming, his interests include photography, driving and citizens band radio.
