I've just joined Turtl as a Senior Customer Success Manager. My key areas of focus will be:
I'm lucky enough to have a lovely wife (Laura), 19 month old son (Charlie) and Ragdoll cat (Alfie) at home. Sadly I have to confess that I sit firmly at the bottom of the pecking order in our household, but I made peace with that a long time ago! We live in a village in Hertfordshire which is fairly quiet and rural. My wife and I both grew up in North London and wanted to move somewhere with a slower pace where we can relax at weekends and in the evenings.
Here's Charlie wearing a hat that Alfie apparently thinks is stupid.
I'm definitely a boring dad I'm afraid - my favourite thing is spending time at home with my family. With the limited spare time I do have I follow my beloved Tottenham, watch boxing, play my PlayStation (I never could kick the habit) or more recently geek out over watches - YouTube videos or reviews of new releases, comparison videos or articles about specific models usually.

Pride of place has to go to Tottenham Hotspur, without doubt. I've supported Spurs since I was about five years old, and those of you who know anything about football will know that Spurs have been painfully average for the vast majority of my life.

Although heavily outweighed by the lows, I have experienced some highs as a Tottenham fan. I was in the San Siro when Bale scored his hat trick and was also at Wembley when Gazza scored one of England's most iconic goals of all time against Scotland at Euro '96. Can you spot the signed photo I have from the game?
With regards to Music, my taste is pretty varied. One of my oldest friends is a DJ and I've been lucky enough to see him play the music we grew up on at various festivals, clubs and venues over the years. As well as UK garage, I'm also into Disco, 80's electronic, some Indie music and plenty of 90's rap and hip-hop.
In terms of Films, I've seen my fair share. In 'the good old days' I would spend virtually every Sunday hungover, slowly trying to work my way through IMDB's top 50 movies of all time. I did this with amazing success. I've always been a fan of the classic gangster films, with the likes of Goodfellas, The Godfather and Scarface leading the way.
I also love to Travel, and am fortunate enough to have visited some amazing places both through work and with friends and family. I have relatives in New Jersey, not far from New York, which is easily my favourite city. I also went to Thailand with a group of friends around nine years ago and it was incredible. We went up and down the country in two weeks and it was such a fantastic experience. I love visiting new places, it just seems to be more difficult to find the time now than it used to be!
