- More About Me
- I am a Born Again Christian and attend church weekly. I have various roles of leadership in the church, including leading the Children's Church group. I enjoy going camping with our church youth group where I have a chance to inspire and have a positive influence on the next generation. I spent some of my teenage years living in Dublin, Ireland, where I learnt and sat exams in Gaelic, the Irish language. During those years, I also learn Irish sports such as Gaelic football. I had the great privilege of winning the Gaelic Football Dublin Championships with my school. I play the bass guitar in a band, where I have the pleasure of touring and putting on shows all around England and a lot of Europe.
