Connecting You To The Right People...

My story...

On the Personal Front: I am in my early forties and live in an incredible expanding place Milton Keynes. My family live all over the place; Newcastle, Newtown [Wales] and Africa. Maybe I should read something into that as none of them are closeby!

I have travelled to many places, the highlights being Eastern Australia, Canada, New York & Las Vegas, and a lot of Europe. There are many more places I want to visit and have set a target to visit two new countries for the second year in a row; last year was Italy and Luxemburg.

Another ambition of mine is to swim with dolphins in their natural habitat. Some of my major achievements include: winning New Business of the Year 2000, surviving a parachute jump from 13,000 ft in 2000 for charity, completing a 500 mile team cycling challenge in September last year covering 120 miles personally again for charity.

On the Professional Front: I am incredibly fortunate to be working with two of the best connectors around. Mark Shaw and Steven Baisden. Not only that but we have through working with each other developed a close friendship. Every day without fail I get to meet new interesting people that have great stories. I always try to learn from them and improve myself. As I meet people, numerous opportunities and doors are opened, which makes life so interesting and exciting. It’s not unusual for me to come up with instant names and connections whilst I’m talking to a new contact. I just hope they don’t think I am being rude, but actually working out how I can assist them!

What else?

I once scored a hat trick in a Watford Sunday football league and made the local paper, can mono water ski, am competing in this year’s Extramile Cycle Challenge again and may do the London to Brighton ride as well as a warm up, chauffeured at the Diana concert last June and drove Nelly Furtado and Lilly Allen to name a few celebs, love to dress up in my tux for dinners and balls [I don’t think I quite pass as Bond, but hey you can dream!]

My Story...

On the Personal Front: I am in my early forties and live in an amazing part of the world - Central London. I have a brilliant and beautiful 6 year old daughter who I love to bits. My family all live nearby, which means I get to see them a lot.

I have travelled a fair amount, visiting both sides of America, and some of Europe. Some of my major achievements include: winning the 40 yard dash at Butlins when I was 4 and a bit, getting through the try out for Gladiators in 1995,spending a year working at a Cardiac Rehab centre in Chicago USA in 1995 and winning the 2001 business management award at Edwards Lifesciences for outstanding business development.

My proudest moment was being present at the birth of my daughter. I intend at some stage to visit the modern 7 wonders of the world. These include, the Grand Canyon, Taj Mahal, Great Wall of China, Machu Pichu in Peru, Pyramids in Egypt, Serengeti Plains, and the Galapagos Islands.

What else?

I once scored 205 in a ten pin bowling game, have scuba dived with dolphins in the red sea, did 50 press-ups every half our all day from 9.00 until 6pm, was in Hampstead station, when a small bomb went off, was allergic for many years to poultry, have watched Top Gun at least 25 times, carried out a structural survey on the late Sir Harvey Jones's house, really love a good rollercoaster and did I mention that I have been married twice...

My Story...

On the Personal Front: I am in my mid thirties and live with my wonderful wife, Suzy and our amazing son Samuel. We are living in a small village in Essex where we are woken by the noise of horses passing outside our house! Essex born and bread I have my family and friends extremely close and get to see them a lot.

I have a streak of adventure in me and looking forward to teaching our son to fish, camp, drive, travel and all the wonderful things that I have been fortunate to of achieved in my life. Some of my major achievements include: passing every exam I have taken since my A-levels with a minimum 85%, have the guts to quit a highly paid job to re-educate myself in Traditional Chinese Medicine, being present at Samuels birth and raising him since he has been on this earth, exploring the Far East and falling in love.

I still have so many things I want to achieve in life and having the support of Suzy and Samuel we will be doing all of them together.

What else?

I once was a DJ on the Isle of Ibiza, became heavily involved with Martial Arts late teens early twenties and my personal record for number of boards broken with one strike is 6, being in a pub darts team, cycling well over 100 miles in one day to raise money for charity, a very good cook with Suzy threatening to put me up for Master Chef!
