I live in Glasgow with my girlfriend. I work as a Project Manager in the Rail Industry, working in projects within Scotland and Northern Ireland. I enjoy playing and watching football, along with most other sports! I love a takeaway at the weekends, with my favourite pick being a Chinese. Socialising and going out with my friends is something I treasure most, and when there is time left after that I enjoy playing my PlayStation.

My Work
I work in making sure new rail projects to help with travel are installed - new stations, track, signals and high tech equipment.
-
My Typical Day: I get to my work at 8:30am. My days are never the same and change each day. One day I could be looking at drawings and designs for work that is to be built. Another day I could be out on site, reviewing work in progress or looking for ways to do stuff safely. I always make sure to have a break for lunch. I travel a lot for my work and get to see different places often which is a fun part of my work.
