I was born in the village of Ayios Georghios Soleas in 1939. I graduated the English School in 1958.
As my scholarship was cancelled in 1958 I worked for 4 years including as a miner in the copper mines in Mavrovouni, to save money to go to England to study. A er study-
ing Engineering and then Physics at London University I did my Doctorate in Physiological Psychology. Following my Doctorate I carried on research into Perception and de-
signed a number of instruments for the measurement of colour and of smell. I carried on this work whilst working for Unilever where I worked for 18 years. When I le I
was Manager of the Creativity and Innovation Department with a string of inventions to my name. Whilst with Unilever they considered proposing me for the Nobel Prize
but unfortunately I was turned down as not having worked deeply enough in one specific domain.
I le Unilever in 1984 when I set up my own Computer So ware House in London under the name of ADM Computers. I am still the Managing Director and Chairman of
ADM. I now travel around the world promoting my company’s so ware. I travel for about nine months of the year.
I still continue working on a new Hypothesis on Evolution for which I have published a book – Dual Process Evolution (a treatise of 30 years of study). I have been invited to
talk about my Hypothesis at numerous Universities and other International Conferences. I have also discussed my Hypothesis on many occasions on various Radio and Tel-
evision programmes.
I have written 14 books in total and I am still writing more. I also wrote many short stories and a huge number of articles in newspapers and magazines. I was instrumental
in setting up LGR the London Greek Radio where I acted as Chairman and managing Director. For my work in Radio and other literary work I was awarded the Honorary Fel-
lowship of the Royal Society of Arts
I sleep only about 3 hours every day so I have a lot of time to work, write and think. I regard myself more of a thinker than anything else.
If anybody wants free copies of my books they can email me on andreas@adm-computers.com
