About Me

My name is Gav, I come from a small town in Scotland called Arbroath. I have just received my Masters in Design, from the University of Dundee, Scotland. I currently live where my heart is and hats Charlotte, NC. Which is the birthplace and home for my wonderful and amazing wife, Tricia. We've been married for 2 1/2 years and together for 6+ years. We have not had the smoothest relationship, but its because of all those rocky bits that we are as close and strong as we are today. I have a good family, and got extremely lucky by marrying into Tricia's family. They are the closest family Ive ever met and each one of them is fantastic. I especially adore all of our nephews and one niece. Lots of people said Tricia and I wouldn't make it and I was called lots of names, BUT I just brushed them off my shoulder and realized its okay because I will come out on top, and i have. Yes life is bloody brilliant at the moment and I wouldn't trade one damn thing. Live, love and learn....
