Human Profile
1. When you were a child what did you want to be when you grew up ?
My parents still wax lyrical that I wanted to be a chemist in the day, news reader at night and to play for Blackpool at the weekend! (I was 8 at the time…)
2. What’s your guiltiest pleasure?
Now that would be telling! I love writing songs and crave a home studio. Sounds awful but I love a few beers, some good food and a laugh with my wife and friends… I am a simple soul!
3. What’s your favourite film / book ?
Film - A Few Good Men Book – The Alchemist
4. Who or what inspires you ?
From history – JFK a man of vision and years ahead of his time, so clearly he had to be removed. Professionally, as corny as it sounds I am inspired by a never quenched passion for the law and the ability to change minds…
5. What would improve the quality of your life?
Hmmm… Not to be as ‘rushed’ – I need more holidays! A garden would be great too so I could let the children stretch out a bit… Oh yes, and of course when they are in bed we can sit outside, relaxing with a glass of something fizzy
6. What’s your secret?
Ha ha what a funny question? In what way??
