Hobbies, Interests & Community Activities
While it may appear somewhat axiomatic, I am a feverish reader and prolific writer. Interested in history and etymology, I also have a fervent interest in all things internet and I maintain my own blog whilst remaining extremely active on several social media platforms.

I have always had a keen interest in boxing and, though I no longer box myself, I currently volunteer as an assistant coach at a local club. I also volunteer as a charity fundraiser for a well-known organization and regularly offer my time on one-off occasions for various charitable events. For instance I regularly organise and facilitate a drive to provide care packs to the homeless on special occasions, such as Valentine’s Day. In addition I produce copy, content and various marketing literature for a small charitable organisation that campaigns for increased road safety.
