Tell us a bit about yourself
I am 29 years old, a husband to Brodie and father to a beautiful little girl called Hallie. I am a keen sportsman who loves golf and football, however Hallie put an end to my football career! I am still golfing thankfully, and my handicap is 7. I have a passion for travelling and cooking which occupies my weekends along with following Liverpool FC. If there’s a chance to be in the sun with my family and a beer, I am a happy man!
