About Me

I'm 27, Irish, 6'3". I'm a Primary School teacher working in schools in disadvantaged areas.I used to work in marketing - I did a degree in management. Switched to teaching, did a post grad and much prefer my work now (and it's only 5 hours a day). I worked in Maryland, USA for a year managing a store. My favourite holiday was driving across the States - Route 66 and all that.I'm an amateur boxer (light heavyweight). I play a lot of football too.
