ABOUT ME

Easy-going, friendly and likes a good banter. Fairly sporty, but have also found time to learn to play music and some arts.

Loves the subject, especially on clean transport technologies (electric cars etc.). Have helped to build a solar car for Cambridge University Eco Racing (www.cuer.co.uk)
