Service

Men’s gifting are polished through the giving of service, so give a 100%. “A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men”.

Preparation

Do all you can do whilst it is called today as tomorrow will benefit from today’s accomplishments. Success comes when preparation meets opportunity.

Improvement

This should be a daily endeavour, I strive for this daily.

Everyday Life

I love family life and a lot of indoors; and I constantly look forward to spending time with my wife and son; enjoying a good laugh. I am interested in strategy games such as chess, monopoly and snake and ladders as well as reading interesting mind developing books. For outdoors I enjoy golf, football, tennis and swimming. As a Business IT professional I keep myself updated as much as I can.

Entertainment

I enjoy good movies especially classics like Brave heart, Gladiator, Star Wars etc. As a lover of information I derive enjoyment from documentaries and biographies. I like Classic Jazz as a wake-up tone, gospel jazz and mid tempo gospel is a favourite for the day. I also enjoy hip hop, but I know a good song when I hear one.
