I'm also the chairman of the IOC, a professional sportsman, one of Vauxhall's chief designers, and regularly on an art competition judging panel.

I couldn't find myself on Google if my life depended on it!

One way to help reduce the unwanted search results is to use the minus sign to specify words to exclude (eg -rugby). Not foolproof but it helps a bit.

I have the same problem as I share my name with a famous designer and a singer in a rock band (both of whom frequently win awards!)
