Cheesy rhymes and puns that elicit groans. That's all I do. When I'm not engrossed in my comically calamitous verses, you can catch me passionately supporting Arsenal Football Club – my heart belongs to the beautiful game. #COYG

‍

I stumbled into the realm of sales over six years ago. I've spent my time lending a patient ear to people's predicaments, striving to be their solution-finder. What's the driving force? A touch of the "hero complex" – an irresistible urge to swoop in and save the day.

‍

What defines me as a person? I've ingeniously turned my knack for being slightly above average at a variety of things into a facade of wisdom. Anyone who has witnessed me embracing the bald look to clinch victory in numerous primary school fancy-dress showdowns knows that when I commit, I go all the way! I firmly believe that the journey of self-discovery is never over. Life keeps surprising us is all I'm saying. As for my aspirations, they take the form of two artistic conquests: to craft a bestseller that captivates and to compose melodies that tug at heartstrings.

‍

If you are looking for the solution to your problems, want to share a bad rhyme/pun, or engage in football debates - I might just be your guy!
