Presentation College

Since moving to London I have become (bizarrely) a keen cyclist. I am also a qualified skydiver and scuba diver. In my spare time I enjoy an active social life and playing sports, such as football and golf. I also like watching films, reading, keeping up with current affairs, problem solving and programming. My current spare time programming project is developing a collision avoidance simulation - www.mattsarjent.com/Collision.
