Personal profile
I spend most of my time outside of work with my wife and children. We like to keep active and are regularly out exploring in the countryside with our cocker spaniel, friends and family or, on a rainy day at the local climbing wall or swimming pool.
I am a keen sportsman and when time allows, I enjoy playing golf, going mountaineering and fly fishing.
