Ask me about…

Sport and music are my two big passions. Sports-wise, I’ll watch anything and everything, but these days my career is limited to football, golf, running and cycling and supporting Preston North End. My musical tastes are very eclectic and I enjoy discovering new music at gigs and festivals. Little known fact, but I accidentally starred in the music video for the Big Reunion’s 2013 “hit” ‘I wish it could be Christmas everyday.’

I have a number of charity interests, including being treasurer at The Mary O’Gara Foundation (a North West based charity focused on suicide prevention) and a volunteer at my local Foodbank.

Leave me on a desert island with…
