Let's conquer our shyness together As a person I like to think of myself as confident but not overly. I'm a very humble man. I understand that there's a time to give and be loving and understanding. I also believe in standing up for what I believe and not being walked on. I'm always there for my friends and loved ones. I don't run from adversity. I care what people think of me because I believe in being the best man I can be. I want people who come across me to think "hey he's alright, he's a goodfella". It's not about attention for me. It's about the importance of ones own honor and respect for those around him.

Looking to find a way into the writing business. At what capacity, I'm not sure yet but I'm exploring many ideas. I am at college at the moment studying Creative Writing and English. I really want to find a woman to love and share in the beauty, that is life. I also want to continue to help those around me and for whom, I care to achieve their goals.

I was raised by a single parent, seeing them get hurt many a times, made me believe how important it is to treat a person right. My experiences in life also taught me how to gain inner strength and not to get walked on. I've had to overcome some difficult things in life and in doing so it's made me a much stronger man.

I'm a huge indie and rock fan, I like loads of music but especially Nirvana, Oasis, Muse, Radiohead, Damien Rice, Kasabian, Glasvegas, you get the idea! I love festivals and have been to Glastonbury 3 times. I play the electric and acoustic guitar, though I wouldn't say I was a professional.
