A Few Questions...

What’s your involvement with Soulmate?

Sports therapist & chief body mechanic.

What do you do for fun?

Salsa, rugby, spend quality time with my six year old son.

Who did you want to be when you grew up?

A surgeon—but a big operation when I was a teenager put me off!

What’s your favourite childhood memory?

Playing at our caravan in South Wales for endless weeks crabbing in rock pools, buying 20p mixes and getting soaked by the rain.

If you were a superhero who would you be and what super powers would you have?

Top of the list would be lasers coming out of my eyes. Although I was impressed by the crimefighting duo on That Mitchell and Webb Look: BMX Bandit (who can ride a BMX bike really well) and The Angel Summoner (who can summon a horde of celestial superbeings to do his bidding); each adventure would begin with BMX Bandit suggesting an over-complicated, primarily BMX-based strategy to deal with the threat they were facing (kidnappers, drug-runners, terrorists), only for Angel Summoner to point out that it’d be a lot easier if he just summoned a horde of angels to do it instead.

If you could have a one to one with anyone who would it be and why?

The guys who invented Google or YouTube, I would like to thank them for opening up communication and the pervasion of the truth via the web, and then I’d spend the rest of the time persuading them that sharing their billions with me would be worthwhile.

Describe the happiest moment in your life

I’ll have to keep that one to myself, thanks!

If you were an animal what would you be?

A dog, bounding around the fields, tail wagging, the only thing important in life being to find that ball… it’s gotta be here somewhere.

What are you most grateful for?

Life.

What’s your vision of the future?

A global society that integrates our scientific discoveries fruitfully into our daily lives. Either that or we invade France and do the job properly this time.

How are you going to make the world a better place?

Solar farms. Mirrors + water = electricity. Easy. Next!
