Interests and Accomplishments:
- I have an active YouTube channel where I produce videos on a specific sandbox game. I have achieved over 50,000 subscribers, with over 10,000,000 lifetime views. Doing this I have become proficient in using software such as Adobe Premier Pro and Photoshop. I have developed these skills by teaching myself how to use these applications. Along with that I have self taught myself how to 3D model using software's such as Blender. I learned this so that I could fully utilise a 3D printer I have previously constructed.
- I also construct and build my own computers, using old and new parts to upgrade my system. This has allowed me to learn valuable skills on how computers both work and troubleshooting problems within the system.
- For many years I have been actively playing the drum kit and tuned percussion. I've played in the North Ayrshire Senior Concert Band and West Kilbride Village Band. I have competed in the Scottish Concert Band Festival and the National Concert Band Festival.
- During the summer months I enjoy playing golf and am a member of Skelmorlie golf club. I also enjoy motor racing and take part of racing events, track days whilst utilizing my own car.
