I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

People either find me funny, strange or just plain annoying... thankfully I have a "little" more depth than can be gleamed from a couple of conversations.

Socially I'm a bit chaotic but in more personal situations I like to share ideas rather than steer them. I like to see people happy and will always try to lend a hand if I can!

Bass Guitar,
Films,
Photography,
Music (mainly indie),

Animation,
