"When were you happiest? My college years when I was 17 to 19, before the responsibilities of adulthood, just doing the things that I was good at and liked computers, maths, further maths (I was a geek). What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? I'm judgmental. What is the trait you most deplore in others? Selfishness. What was your most embarrassing moment? When I was losing my sight, I couldn't see where I was going,"
Chris McCausland was born in Liverpool and trained as a software engineer before losing his sight in his twenties due to a genetic disorder.

He lives in London, is married with one child, and describes himself as hard-working, resilient and irritating.
