Summary
I'm an individual with a continuous motivation to put maximum effort into any jobs/endeavours I undertake. I apply myself with passion and hard work to any role and also always enjoy making friendships and connections with different co-workers along the way. I am an easy going worker that I feel can get on with pretty much anyone whilst always putting work and company priorities first. I'm also reliable and trust worthy when it comes to getting a job done and have no problems with you contacting an owner of a company I have worked at previously to discuss work ethic and reliability.

Sports: Football and Weight Lifting
Football has definitely been the biggest part of my life since I was five years old and I truly don't know what I would do without it. Whether it is playing or watching I truly don't feel like myself when football is not in my life. I still play competitively today at mens under 23/first team level and I don't see myself fully stopping playing football for many years. Weight lifting at the gym is something that has had a huge effect on how I perceive myself, what I look like and who I am today on a personal level more than anything. Weight lifting at the gym is an essential part of my daily routine and again is something I cannot live without. Weight lifting has changed the way I perceive hard work, dedication, discipline and has increased my confidence immensely.
