Background

Everything!

Outside of work

I love the outdoors, so living back home in Wales is awesome! I keep telling myself I am going to get back in to rock climbing. I like gardening… well… watching Gardeners’ World while my wife does the actual gardening… And we have a cat called Frankie (short for Frankenstein).
