It’s me, but the non-work me
Dad & husband, DIY’er, determined bike racer and unwavering soccer fan.

Our pack of happy hearts
I’m married to the most lovely, warm hearted gal I’ve ever met and a father of two awesome kids that keep my equally inspired and exhausted.
And as of 2024, Benny the Jet Dogriguez has joined our crew. At the moment, he excels at keeping me more exhausted than anything else.
It turns out taking a few corners close to 30 mph, elbow to elbow, teaches you as much about confidence as it does trust in others.
Roughly 10 months of every year, I am methodically training just to hit a start line a handful of times each year. Some might say I love the process more than the results. I’m starting to think they’d have a good argument…

As a former defender, I hold the utmost respect for thankless jobs (on and off the pitch).
Let’s share a cup or pint together sometime, virtually or otherwise.
Chapeau! Cheers!
