I live in the historical countryside town of Hitchin in south-east England, with my wife Rachel, my son Matthew and our two cats. We spend summers in our holiday home on the west coast of Sweden.
I am passionate about beer brewing, playing music and cooking. I enjoy the outdoors, especially yacht sailing and hiking. I love spending evenings with friends, at an open mic event or socializing down the local pub.
