Having completed A-Levels in Business Studies, Film Studies, Physics and German of which I gained AAAB respectively, I'm currently completing the third year of a four year degree at The University of Warwick, England, which began in September in Kiel and has in the last few months progressed to Hamburg.

I'm capable of understanding a fair bit of written and spoken German, and the next 12 months in Germany are helping to refine the spoken aspect very effectively.

I am a skilled piano player and videographer, and also interested in many IT applications from photo and video editing to basic coding and that is one of the reasons for coding this website. I achieved a merit qualification in Piano Grade 8 in 2005 and my videography skills have allowed me to be a professional wedding videographer for many a happy client.

I've also attained the Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award which has taken me on so many a life changing journey it has become a large part of my life and one I was sad to leave at the end of September 2005. From my treks through the lake district to the massive learning curve of The Somme project in France, it has given me so many opportunities and special appreciation goes (on behalf of my whole team) to Mr. Paul Griffiths.

Now onto the usual interests etc.

TV Shows
Some people tell me I watch far too much TV, but I think just a nice small selection of that can be classed as favourites: 24, American Dad!, Ashes to Ashes, Big Brother, Bones, Coronation Street, Crime Traveller, Desperate Housewives, Doctor Who, Family Guy, Friends, Futurama, Have I Got News For You, Heroes, House, Invasion, Life on Mars, Lost, Only Fools & Horses, Planet Earth, Primeval, Prison Break, Queer as Folk, Question Time, Red Dwarf, Sarah Jane Adventures, Sex and the City, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Sex... with Mum and Dad, Die Simpsons, Skins, Spooks, The Brittas Empire, The OC, Torchwood, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Verliebt in eine Hexe, Vincent.

Music
Music in general is a great passion of mine, which I try to mould into every aspect of my waking (and indeed sleeping life). I enjoy almost every genre of music, so to list favourites here would be fruitless, though I will just mention some that I believe deserve more recognition that they currently receive. 'The Queen Symphony' album is the first; which is a collection of excellent classical compositions based on the works of Queen. 'The Klazz Brothers and Cuba Percussion' is a classical evolutionary group, whom I stumbled across last summer when trying to soundtrack a home video. Needless to say, their work is sublime and is definitely worth a mention.

Books
I'm very much into the Harry Potter series (of which I'm currently wading through in German!) - the way the books grip you all the way through the thick wedge of dead tree is quite fantastic. Also quite into sci-fi and physics non-fiction books that research into time travel and dimensions as well as the sub-atomic levels - some very intriguing and mind-blowing theories to be had - take a read of Prof. Hawking's A Brief History of Time! in your breaks and you'll soon see what I mean. During my university studies I've come across many a book which has kept me intrigued by this unique entertainment format, yet sadly, the pace of modern life negates the frequency of reading which I would certainly desire.
