Oakengates Tennis Club, based in Telford, Shropshire, where I play on a regular basis.
Apart from Interactive Media/Web Design and Information Technology I have many interests outside of both work and University.
I have a wide selection of hobbies; I try to keep as fit as I can and to do this I currently play football three times a week, both at 5 and 7 a-side, both playing and managing and I also play tennis (weather permitting) a few times every month.
I also enjoying playing pool, snooker and the occasional game of poker as I like the combination of skill and mental strength that these games entail.
Listening to music helps me to relax, as you can see from the CDs that I have been listening to lately I usually opt for rock or indie styles of music and recently I have started to go out and listen to live music events, these have included the V and Leeds Festival, as well as Kasabian, The Fratellis, Editors, Kaiser Chiefs, The Enemy and The Stereophonics in concert.
I also really love reading, not only books surrounding my area of study but fiction, especially crime/psychological thrillers. Favourite authors of mine include James Patterson, Jeffery Deaver and Peter James.
I also consider myself a bit of a film buff, spending time watching my ever growing library of DVDs at home, as well as the latest releases at my local cinema.
