Most Important Thing To Me: My wife and daughter, friends, family and pets and living a happy, stress free life.
Biggest Dislike: Individual scorecards and KPI’s, ignorant pig headed people, maniac drivers.
Favourite Movie: Rounders. We went to the snow for a week and watched it twice a day every day we were there. “If you can’t spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker”.
Favourite Music: I love all music. Right now it’s Billie Eilish’s new album and a jazz fusion album from The Comet is Coming. You can’t beat a good live show. But my daughter only lets me listen to the Frozen soundtrack. I wish she would listen to the lyrics and let it go already.
