retail analyst & knife sharpener
Tim Keegan was born in Chelmsford, raised in a tiny North Welsh village, and went to secondary boarding school in Brentwood whilst my family moved to Australia. He went to university in Dundee to study psychology, natural language processing for AI. He met and married an Italian, went to work in retail (B&Q) on a mission to save the planet (timber certification and reduction of packaging), drifted into database design and resource optimisation (space management). With the prospect of a continued long commute, he decided to change his life and set up a high quality knife sharpening business which he could operate from his home.
