Thanks to my good friend Gary for use of his VHS to DVD converter I now have this rare footage of me at the 1988 BMX Freestyle World Cup on YouTube.

I also use this site as a placeholder for friends and associates to reach me outwith any particular company. I can be contacted on the personal email address m@rcus.co.uk. In my professional life I’ve been starting and running online businesses since 1997. I started out creating web development company Marcat in that year and have since created, or helped to create, half a dozen successful, still trading, online businesses ranging from web and application development companies, to multi-million dollar online marketing businesses. The internet has been my passion, career, playground and mental stimulation for the last 15 years. It has given me an amazing work life, helped me see the world, meet many great people, and made me wealthy beyond my expectations.

I’m currently the Managing Director of DistinctMEDIA.com – one of the biggest vertical search and comparison networks globally, and also Managing Director of iBooking.com, experts in online booking and ticketing applications for travel, leisure and hospitality. I maintain investments in several other internet based businesses. More details on the bio page.

I live in the Marina area of Dubai, UAE, enjoying the benefits of sunshine and a tax-free status.
