About Me:

I enjoy playing golf (of a fashion) when I’m not playing taxi driver to my three teenage daughters!

Music:

Rock – in particular metal, classic and progressive rock. My favourite band who I’ve followed for over 40 years are the progressive metal pioneers, Rush.

Quirky Fact:

During a holiday job set off the fire alarm at 3 o’clock in the morning at the Gatwick Hilton hotel by burning some toast resulting in a full fire brigade response!
