Fun Fact

"I’m a very active person outside of work. I play semi-pro football in a Welsh league and train in MMA, which helps keep me disciplined. Just to mix things up, people are often shocked to find out I can speak Spanish! It’s a great skill to have and certainly helps with communication, even if I don't get to use it on boiler installs very often."
