Personal
Motorsport has been my passion from the age of 6. I have raced to a decent level in karts and cars. I also work for a professional team on a part-time basis in the British GT championship on the commercials.
I also have two Romanian rescue dogs that take up a lot of my time in terms of exercise. One of them, Arthur was a finalist at Scrufts (Crufts) in 2025.
I also have a love for skiing.
