Two minute interview

What are your favourite pastimes?

Mexican wrestling - my friend has got me into it and back flips off the top rope look amazing! I’m a comedy fan and always on the lookout for new acts, this talent scouting keeps me busy! I enjoy cycling but am not quite used to negotiating London city traffic, buses are bigger and more dangerous than the squirrels I’m used to! I follow Formula One racing, everyone likes fast cars.

What would you have done if you hadn’t gone into IT?

I always wanted to be a doctor when I was growing up. Something about the complexity of the human body fascinated me. However when I got my first computer I realised computers are just as complex but there’s less at stake when fixing them!

Past achievements you are particularly proud of?

I recently lost four stones in six months. It’s nice to be thinner but annoying buying new clothes. I’m very proud of renovating my brother-in-law’s house. It was fun and challenging, we handled everything from central heating to building a conservatory!

What’s your earliest memory?

One of my earliest memory’s is having a water fight in my garden with my brothers and sisters. I think I lost as I got soaked!
