Toby was born and raised in England, moving to the USA in 1994 and became a citizen in 2001. He created his first web site way back in April 1996 after his brother shared the information that Compuserve gave you 1-MB of free space (what seemed like a large amount at the time).

He is an active member of the National Technology Honor Society (NTHS).
