My career history:

• Joined MJ Sumner & Co. in 2002
• Joined PBC in 2005
• Joined Paragon in 2014

My career highlight:

Actively contributing to the ongoing success and growth of the company, including taking a bit part in assisting graduates with passing their APC. 

What keeps me motivated:

The varied work at Paragon which includes numerous trips to Europe, including Sweden, Germany, Holland, France and Poland in the last year. 

What I do differently:

I am very personable and am able to communicate with peers and clients of all levels of experience from graduates through to MD’s. I would rather discuss things directly rather than hide behind an email.  

What keeps me busy at the weekend:

I am an armchair sports fan and like to watch football and F1 when possible. However, my twin daughters tend to dictate what I get up to at weekends which invariably includes swimming. I am also a very reluctant (and poor) DIYer.

My favourite food:

Rare roast beef with all the trimmings. 

My favourite eatery:

Hawksmoor.

My favourite drink:

Red wine or real ale. On rare occasions, both at the same time. 

My favourite travel destination:

Bermuda (and Cornwall).

Not many people know this about me:

During my younger days I attended university in Maryland, USA on a football scholarship.
