As written by him ..
"One of the many things I enjoy doing in my free time is visiting art galleries. I also like to read art books and watch art programmes on TV. I am currently a member of the Youth Collective at Leeds art gallery as cultural engagement is key for me. I am always happy to go and listen to live music and go to the cinema too.
One of my other main hobbies is watching sports on TV. I am generally happy to watch a large variety from snooker to hockey. However, it is rugby league that I find most entertaining.
