Interests:

I have a huge interest in cars, and spend most spare time drawing and designing cars, amongst trying everything else.  I find design and how things work very fascinating, and a backbone to wanting to create things.  I play golf, enjoy driving, and I have been restoring a classic Mustang to further help me understand how cars work and gain practical automotive skills.  In doing so I have also joined the Surrey Muscle Car Club.  In the future I hope to set up my own business and one day build my own car.  In the past I played the recorder, went to Cub Scouts, swimming and gymnastics, and also play piano/keyboard.  I have also recently started to get into website design, as well as branching into Astro engineering, or renewable energies development.
