About Me

I suppose my only real aim in life is to spend the majority of my days learning, laughing and enjoying myself as much as possible. I spend most of my non-work hours playing drums(well)piano(not so well-but improving!),training in Muay Thai, and hanging out with my fantastic girlfriend. I'm also into traveling, which I don't do enough of, reading good fiction and surfing.
