I have a severe braininjury following an RTA as such my behaviour can sometimes be unpredictable, especially around new people as I can be anxious until I get to know you properly.Once I am familiar with people, I have a great senseof humour and enjoy having banta and like to wind people up and play pranks on them with the help of my young son.

I have two children a son who has autism and ADHD and a daughter, they are everything to me, and are my main motivation for my rehabilitation programme.

I like playing board games, going out on trips to the zoo, bowling, amusement arcades, for walks down the beach and also walking my pet dog. I also used to be a Chef prior to my brain injury and with your support I cannot wait to start cooking and baking again. I enjoy baking with my children, I tell them to hurry up so I can eat what we have created (I am not very patient).

I love listeningto music, Im a big Pink Floyd fan and other artists I like are the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins, Dire Straits, Paul Weller and Santana. My stereo system is my pride and joy. I like going to music concerts and I will dance in my chair I will grab your hand and make you dance also.
