What was your first ever job (that you were paid for)? Basketball referee / Truck Jockey

What scares you the most? Snakes - don’t put me near long grass.

What’s a little-known skill that you have (outside of your job)? I have the ability to tire out my border collie, Willow, for anyone without a border collie, I promise this is a skill worth telling.

A place you’ve travelled to where you want to go back? Western Australia

What is/are your bucket-list holiday destination/s? Japan, Malta & everywhere else shortly after.

If you’re a reader, what are you currently reading? I’m not a consistent reader, as such I’ve been reading Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy for the best part of 12 months.

Favourite book you’d recommend to others? Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy…? If it was a movie I would have watched it 6 times, I just don’t like reading.

What would the title of your autobiography be? Notes From a Work in Progress

If you could swap jobs with anyone in the world for a day, who would it be and why? Elon Musk, as long as stock isn’t falling… The insights into the future would be incredible.

If you weren’t working in Financial Services, what would you be doing? A personal trainer.

Favourite Movie? Anchorman - I love a comedy.

When you’d have spare time as a kid, what would you be watching on TV? Only ever sports, any and every sport as a kid.

Are you a podcast listener? And if so, what are you listening to? Absolutely - I switch between sports podcasts and self-improvement podcasts, people like Andrew Huberman, Andy Galpin and Chris Williamson.

Favourite food? Pizza, a Greek Lamb Pizza specifically.  

What's your go-to when cooking dinner? Chicken Poke Bowl

If you could invite three people (living or dead) around to eat this dinner, who would they be? My partner Maddy, and my late grandparents.

When you add milk to cereal, does it become soup? That’s absurd, no. It’s a salad of grains with a milk dressing.

Pineapple on Pizza. Yes or No? No, and definitely not on my Greek Lamb Pizza.

Smooth or Crunchy Peanut Butter? Crunchy!
