Educated at Bryanston School, where he had a wide range of interests, extending as far as a brief period in stage lighting in the professional theatre, Adrian won a major scholarship to Cambridge, where he became Senior Scholar of Sidney Sussex College.

After specialising in Physics, Chemistry, and Metallurgy in his first two years, and gaining First Class Honours in all three, Adrian then switched to Electrical Engineering for his final year. This background fitted well for his subsequent PhD in Solid State Physics and Scientific Instrument Design.

After gaining management experience in companies in the fields of high precision engineering, electronic building heating controls, computers, and materials handling, Adrian started his own organisation.  He later abandoned activities which were principally concerned with sales, to concentrate on personal research consultancy, which was of more interest to him.

A further development came with the advent of children in the family, and Adrian broadened his horizons to be able to help them with sport and other out of school activities.

Subsequently, after cancer surgery, Adrian was one of the founding trustees of the Colostomy Association, and since moving to France in 2006 has become their Consultant, applying his extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology gained in sports training to advise on such subjects as colostomy management and returning to sport after abdominal surgery.
