PERSONAL PROFILE

PERSONAL STATEMENT

Let’s get this out of the way first. Any of my friends would tell you I hate talking about myself, evidenced by the fact I have written about 5 Facebook posts since 2010.

So, I’m not going to try to convince you I’m the best thing since sliced bread. I’m just a guy trying pay my bills and hopefully have a good time doing so.

I’ll be the first to admit there’s plenty I don’t know. That being said I always back myself to figure it out. I am yet to figure out whether that means I’m confident or just naïve; it’s a thin line.  

Outside of work you’re just as likely to find me in the gym, curled up on the couch with the Mrs or consuming a healthy amount of cider. If it’s made from apples it counts towards your five-a-day, right?

I’m also a self-confessed excel nerd. Bills, taxes, workouts; if it’s got numbers its going in the spreadsheet. I just have a soft spot for data and automation.

Hopefully you will find out everything else you need to know about me below, but apparently people are ridiculously bad at being self-aware.

 

So please, just get in touch and judge me for yourself.
