        Why did you join XI?  I found the server and joined up ten years ago and never looked back.

        What do you get from being in this clan?  It’s a lot of fun.  The players are good fun and its always good escapism.

        What is your favorite hobby? If I had the time I’m sure I could evolve it past wine.

        What is your favorite travel destination?  Anywhere with a beach and hot men.

        Are you married?  Not yet, but if Wildthing is reading this – you know where I am.  *wink wink*

        Do you have children? No

        What kind of pets do you have, if any? What are their names?  So I have a cat called Kit.

        What causes are you passionate about?  I’m passionate about any cause that puts people and their success first

        Do you volunteer? If so, where?  I am a non stipendiary Priest

        What is an interesting fact about you?  I would guess being a Priest and a gay one is quite interesting.  Its unusual for it to be public knowledge.


        Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind?  Well I guess not overly work related.  Gained my intermediate amateur radio license, qualifications for taxi licensing and alcohol licensing.

        Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college?  Well no

        Did you belong to any professional organizations?  So I belong to the Institute of Licensing and the Licensed private hire car association.

        Where else have you worked?  Zoos, Pubs and clubs.  Was a DJ for about 8 years

        Why did you choose to work in your industry? Well Taxis made it easy to study theology for my Priesthood because I’m self employed I can stop and start.

        Why do you like your job?  Well both can be rewarding and tiresome equally.  However the ability to grow with others is a huge plus point

        How would you describe your career?  Tangible.  Its where it is and jumps when it needs to.

        If you could give a younger person career advice, what would it be?  Its your life and what you decide today may not be what you want tomorrow, but that’s ok!

        Are you involved in any professional/ non-profit/sports organizations? If so, do you have a title or rank within these organizations?  So within my denomination I am a Diocesan Bishop which is basically an area manager.

        If you were granted 1 wish, what would you wish for?  I guess I would love people to accept others more.  I find the world is full of people who struggle to understand others and then use that as a barrier for acceptance.  You know none of us understand everything, but a smile and acceptance goes a long way!

     

    So to give you guys a bit more on me - I've attached some pics - my desk - where I write sermons and kill people.  My cat, My beautiful taxi - Mercedes S350d Long AMG Line.  Me out at gay pride.

    Thanks for reading and as always.  If i'm AFK on the game its because i'm on grindr as well.  

    Thanks to all of you for making the ten years so far be amazing and I love each and everyone of you!!
