jack of all trades, master of one. Actually I am a director of IT for a financial services firm. I also own a web and graphic design company with my wife (she's the creative one, I am the geek).

I have a 1960 Gillette toggle that I like a lot. Using Art of Shaving lavender shave oil, and any flavor of Taylor of Bond Street cream. Right now I am using the Jermyn Street scent that I actually bought at the Taylor store on Jermyn street in London.

What are your hobbies and favorite activities?
I like to learn new things, so I pick up and drop hobbies readily. Mainly its cars, coffee, beer making, guitars/music, watches, wood working and tattoos. I am a perpetual tinkerer and devout DIY'er. I have taken apart/modified many things in my house and built many others. I like to build something if I can or at least buy an old one and fix it up. My wife often jokes that I know a little bit about a lot of things. I am interested in history, almost any kind, and am hoping to start genealogy research on our families this year. Wow, its hard to narrow down my interests in a small paragraph!

What else should the members of B&B know about you?
I have two beautiful daughters, ages 4 and 9 months. Feel free to ask questions about any of the above, I enjoy talking about my many hobbies. Thanks for having me!
