Other hobbies away from the microphone are Horse Riding. I was once an owner of my own horse but now its just the occasional hack across the lovely surroundings here of The New Forest. Maybe in the future if I have more time I may go back to being an owner.

I am also a keen Genealogist tracing the family tree researching all my ancestors. You never know we might be related. Its not everyone's cup of tea but I can be found rummaging around grave yards.

The day job often you can find my voice on some more powerful transmitters as a Radio Presenter freelancing all over the UK on Commercial & BBC. Currently a regular voice on Winchester Today Forest FM 92.3fm & Radio Caroline 648Khz.
