As written by him

"I have a varied number of hobbies and interests, including growing chilli peppers in the garden, and playing video games especially Halo and FIFA. I really like music and film especially Inception and The Departed just to name a few. I love sport and will watch pretty much anything. Unfortunately, I do support Tottenham Hotspur and have a season ticket for my sins (Arsenal fans may apply but please have mercy!). Still, if sport isn't your thing then don't worry, I'm sure we will find something to chat about (maybe not clothes and make-up mind!).

I ideally need a carer who is positive, friendly and hardworking. I will always treat a carer with respect and am usually a polite, mild-mannered gentleman. My care is obviously important to me and I have a routine that works. I will need my carer to be genuinely warm-hearted, patient, and empathetic.

I look forward to working with you."
