About Myself

Outside of work I am studying in a long distance course for my CIW certificate (Certified Internet Web Master). I really enjoy studying about other sides of Internet related topics that I don't necessarily cover at work such as the business side and networking for example. The course will also teach me how to build e commerce driven sites, which is another area I would like to learn about.

I have keen interest for computer-aided design, I find 3D graphics for film and games development really fascinating and I think that in the future this subject may have a major influence within the web industry.

I am a very out going person that enjoys socialising and meeting new and interesting people. In my spare time I like to spend time with friends or go out on all day mountain bike sessions.

My goals in life are to be the best I can at what I enjoy doing and web design has given me an exciting and challenging path to do so.
