Interview

What's your favorite social network?

Instagram. No question.

Why did you become a journalist?

It has been an evolution of what I do. My aim is to help people start their own business and be their own boss - it's another way!

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

No I didn't, but as a youngster I used to write for football fanzines (not many people know that)!

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Go for it!

What's your favorite drink?

Rose wine and lemonade. Put two large glasses of Rose, and a mini Lemonade can, into a pint glass. Best. Cocktail. Ever.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

Drinking too much coffee at a cafe somewhere, ideally in the sun. Or shopping for trainers.

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

GQ Magazine. Embarrasing... but I have to keep up with the times!
