Always been drawn to the darker side of fiction and movies, and keen to keep striving to achieve the levels set by personal favourites such as Brian Freeman and Chris Carter.

An avid sports fan, whenever given the option, can usually be found on the golf course, spending time with family and attending country music gigs.
