Smiling middle-aged couple taking a close-up selfie.

Me and my wife Zoe into year 9 together

When we met, we hit it off immediately! We share the same interests, apart from running, she runs a lot, probably to get away from me, everything else we do together, literally everything. We get sad when we aren’t with each other.

Wedding

Zoe and I decided to get married after 8 years together (good on Zoe as she knew I had no life insurance!). I was overweight and no treatment was working so my head was a jumble but I remember it as it was one of the happiest days of my life.

The 'kids'

It’s not hard to work out how Raff (my eldest) and Kirsty (amazing lady) met! Their future is rugby and Kirsty is very artistic as well, details on that in the future! Gabby (Gabriel, pronounced “Ga – Brie – Elle” , Brazilian mum, (long funny story), my youngest son is a computer nerd with his future in gaming! Love them all.

Family

I spent ages looking for family pictures to post, but there are so few of us together as everyone is busy. That has been a lesson, realising my life may be very short, that we need to try and see the family more and worst case, do online video calls, cash needs to go to keep me alive, not transport, as family is either in Yorkshire, Manchester or London. Even for our wedding my eldest Raff and "Special" K were on rugby duty in South America and frankly I'd do the same for rugby! They are all brilliant and make us so happy with support and smiles.

Modelling days

Unfortunately this was all pre digital, so I don't have many photos left, but the ones below are me working for Next, New Man, Paul Smith, the Brylcreem event (don't laugh considering my "current hair style") at Le Palais, and some photos from the 2000+ attending Love Hearts / Piccadilly Radio.

Working days

I worked on markets for my Dad when I was very young, selling sheepskins and leather goods for no pay (bad dad!) but my first real job at age 15 (fibbed about my age) was telemarketing at Kitchens Direct, then onto Canon (UK) selling fax machines, then I spent the majority of my life selling WiFi across the UK, then a focus on financials in the City. For the last 6 years I've been selling Consultancy and Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the Oil and Gas space across Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and the USA. The last 15 years have been great as I spent so much time overseas. I've found photos from the past of me at events etc.. I can't use many modern ones as a lot are hush hush. In the year I've been ill, apart from wiping out any funds saved, the boredom levels are intense and my tan has faded. I'd love to get back to it again.
