With a background in engineering and education Tony became fascinated by the opportunities presented by the then new Internet and how this could be used to support teaching and education. Following a time working as a learning technologist at the University of Leeds he established Webducate and it was at a related conference he introduced Rachael to this exciting and rapidly expanding world of Web 2.0. This exposure eventually led to the launch of Physiospot 2006 and then Physiopedia in 2009. Apart from being the co-founder, Tony is also the geek behind Physiopedia.
