I'm from Coppull in Chorley, Lancashire. I support Blackburn Rovers and spend most weekends travelling around to watch them (rather grim at the moment!). Also I often go watching Chorley FC and Wigan Rugby.

I work Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue (www.flickr.com/manchesterfire) as a risk analyst. I also do a bit of freelance web design and online mapping.

Apart from this I'm learning German, I like photography, arts and crafts, playing footy and going to gigs and shows.
