Sure, computing and technology is a huge part of my educational life, career and a great hobby…

…But there is much more to me than just hard-drives and computer monitors!

Here’s a couple of my favorite other (less geeky) hobbies!

Food

Love creating new meals and reproducing old classics in the kitchen as well as watching all the culinary shows (MasterChef, The Hairy Bikers, Jamie at Home, etc!). I also have a respect for food produce, trying to buy the highest quality, in-season, British foods whenever possible!

Sports

I love playing or watching a variety of sports, including Formula 1, Rugby, Football, and especially Ice Hockey! Leading on from a general understanding of nutrition, working out and visiting the gym naturally follows. I love the feel-good factor after a hard workout!

Music

Music is a huge part of my life! Other than syncing my iPhone to Spotify, I love keeping up with the latest chart hits, alternative music and generally most artists! Personal favorites include ‘Taio Cruz’, ‘Kasabian’, ‘Tiesto’ and ‘The Black Eyed Peas’.

Socializing

Love catching up with old friends, meeting new acquaintances and bonding with colleagues over a coffee, working lunch or night out. A strong friend network supports a motivated and focused attitude.

There you go! Fancy going for a drink?

Wait, there’s more!
