Interests
I am (almost) embarrassed to say one of the things I thoroughly enjoy is building excel models. On other less boring stuff, I frequently play touch rugby, occasionally play soccer, swimming (rarely haha) and sing in my church choir. I love traveling with my wife to experience other lands, people and cultures. I also enjoy family time… my little nieces and nephew just melt my heart!
