How did you become involved in motorsport? – I worked with David Bartrum and became good friends with him.  I eventually ended up getting involved in his race team when he was starting to get serious about it.

What do you do at Airwaves BMW? – It's my job to make sure everything is looking good on race days.  That means making sure the cars have all the right stickers on them, the garages are all set up and look nice, to fixing panels on the cars if they get damaged in races.

What's your favourite thing about being involved with Airwaves BMW? – I really like seeing all the different places we go to around the country.  It's good to get out and about at each event and meet all the people that come to the circuits.  Within the team itself I enjoy the good food and the good company of all the other team members.

What has been your most memorable moment with the team? – The first win at Brands Hatch.

Who is your motorsport idol? – I'd probably say Nigel Mansell.  He was exciting to watch in Formula One and Touring Cars.

What do you do to relax away from motorsport? – There's nothing better than sitting in a nice country pub with a pint and a Ploughman's.

If you were an animal, what would you be? – I'd be a hare.  I always seem to be rushing about everywhere – but I still don't get there on time!

Is a Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit? – It has to be a biscuit, it's in beside all the other biscuits in the shops.  Don't know why it's called a cake!
