Summary

We chat about how his mental health was affected by not fully dealing with his own sexuality. In this his very open chat, we cover the pandemic, online abuse, discrimination. He's MD of Bournemouth 7s Festival and also the Vice President of the National Outdoor Events Association and a self confessed events geek!

I couldn’t be prouder of the once shy young lad who walked through my door 11 years ago. He’s flying the flag for an industry in crisis, and raising awareness for some great causes along the way.
