About Me

Born in Wendover, Buckinghamshire I moved to Denmead, Hampshire when I was 11 due to my parents' work moving near Southampton. Educated in Portsmouth I progressed onto college education attaining a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Engineering enabling me to apply and attain an apprenticeship at Mercedes AMG HPP (Mercedes Formula 1 Engine manufacturers) as a CNC Machinist.
I am a driven and passionate individual in both work and personal endeavours. My main interests include historic motorsport, mainly single seaters, sports cars and racing motorcycles. I attend many events related to me interests. I enjoy squash, cycling and a bit of football.
