ABOUT ME
I thouroughly enjoy spending time in nature, whether it be hurtling down a path on a mountain bike or hiking to the highest point just to admire the world below and take in the view, i love it!
Other than the outdoors i enjoy spending time with friends and family, going to theatre or comedy shows, watching a movie, reading, listening to my favourite music and other normal things like that!
I have a thirst for knowledge and really enjoy the intricacies of timing events in life. In particular i seem to have an uncanny ability for arriving exactly at the time arranged or enjoying working out how long something takes or what time i expect to get to a place.
As an Engineer i thoroughly enjoy challenges and this motivates me to solve problems and delivery the best solution in my work...
PHILOSOPHY
Make the most of every opportunity that life gives you because you dont know where it will lead..
