Outside of Work:

I am currently “in between” marriages and have 2 gorgeous kids: Harry and Molly. I also have a very close relationship with the bar staff of my local “The Stafford”. The other love of my life is Brighton and Hove Albion FC- don’t laugh! I live in Cleckheaton- West Yorkshire and have been an exiled Southerner in this part of the world since 1993. My ambitions are to swim with a Great White Shark; See the Northern Lights (can’t spell Aurora Borealis) and drive at high speed through a crash barrier ála James Bond.
