Born and raised in Bromsgrove, I have always had a keen interest in IT, science and anything tech. In my spare time I enjoy building PC’s and Laptops, keeping myself up to date on the latest tech news, and gaming on the weekends.

I live with my awesome wife, Emma and our cat, Pudding. We enjoy spending our time cooking new recipes, exploring new places, and hanging out with our friends and family.
