If you could trade places with anyone else for the day who would it be and why?

This is such a hard question as I am happy with my own life.

Have you had any regrets in life?

I have no regrets at this time; I have visions, ideas and goals for the future which I want to strive towards. If I have reached the end of my life and not attempted to reach these visions and goals then I shall have regrets.

If you could change your job what would you do instead?

I have the best job in the world but I am tempted to swap with Tiger Woods, I would use the winnings and sponsorship money to support all of our mission projects throughout the world and bring a smile to many children's faces.

Party animal or slouch potato?

My wife will tell you that I am certainly not a party animal as it is impossible to drag me unto the dance floor. I am happiest when working for HOPE, even in the evenings during the TV soaps etc

Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?

I hope to be healthy and able to continue to develop the work of HOPE over the next years. However, we have no guarantee of a long life so it is important to live today with purpose and meaning.

Who or what has had the biggest influence in your life?

It is impossible to pinpoint one thing or person as there are many but it was my first ever trip into Eastern Europe in 1998 that has led me to do what I am doing now.
