Personal
I’m expecting my first child with my wife at the end of June. We were big on travel however it may need to take a backseat until our little one grows up a bit more. In my free time, I’m an avid NFL fan and enjoy listening to podcasts and audiobooks (or reading when I get the chance). I have a passion for learning new things and a strong interest in entrepreneurship.
Favourite sport / team
New England Patriots, Boston Celtics and Boston Red Sox. All things Boston.
Musical performer
Eminem
Movie
Interstellar or The Martian, maybe even the Wolf of Wall Street

Best motoring moment
Working on my previous car (a VW Golf R) with a mate, along with all the stress and banter that came with it.
Best business advice you’ve ever received?
