Gamer, Geek & Father of Three

John Ikel

Witham, Essex, United Kingdom (Great Britain) 

I am a 34 year old Market Data Analyst and Project Manager from Essex. I am married with three children and I work for a large investment bank in Canary Wharf, London. I love playing games, drinking tea, eating custard creams, reading Raymond E. Feist books, watching good films, going to expensive restaurants, playing in Photoshop and (more importantly) spending time with my lovely family.

<b>Why GingerNinja.net?</b>
GingerNinja was the nickname given to me by a fellow Bluecoat at Pontin's Camber Sands during the summer of 1996. Despite being used as a slight wind-up, I adopted it as my online alter ego around 1998-1999 (in place of "Johno") and continued using it when I finally ventured online to play Counter-Strike in August 2000 (then in Beta 7.0!).

I purchased the GingerNinja.net domain name a few years later and got the .net version as .com was already taken. I was able to continue playing under the name of GingerNinja for quite some time until I started playing Battlefield 2 in 2005 and discovered that my name had already been taken, so I signed up with my domain name, GingerNinja.net. I later discovered that the GingerNinja GameSpy ID used by Battlefield 2 was one I had registered years ago, but by this point my new name was being actively used in BF2 and CS:Source amongst others so I was pretty much stuck with GingerNinja.net as my new online identity.
