Personal
I have a few hobbies/outside interests:
Universal Exports Paintball
Universal Exports Paintball — or UE as we’re known — is the team I’ve been part of for years. We compete in 8–12 events a year across Europe, with weekends spent either camping together or travelling as a squad. It’s a brilliant way to blow off steam with friends, meet new people, and share some pretty wild international experiences.
I was the General for the UK’s Big Game, North Versus South, in 2023 and again in 2024. With Universal Exports as the command squad, we took home the trophy both years!
Off the field, I put my Adobe Premiere Pro skills to work creating videos and editing content for our YouTube channel.

Martial Arts
I hold a First Dan (black belt) in Shotokan Karate, training a few times a week. Most of my practice is with Sensei John Kobierowski , and occasionally at Shogai Karate Dojo.
I also hold a First Dan in Japanese JuJitsu, having trained with Sensei John Hallam at Seven Hills Jujitsu, where I also worked as a junior instructor.
I share some of that experience by teaching a 5-week self-defence course at The University of Sheffield every term, as part of their Give it a Go scheme.
