My Job: Housing Support Worker. Helping young people to learn the skills and confidence they need to manage a tenancy.
Happiest when: fly-fishing on a remote highland loch, relaxing with my family, hillwalking, painting, in long meandering discussions with friends, and yes, I really enjoy my work!
Scared of: heights, high-adrenalin activities like rock-climbing, snowboarding, bungee jumping. Basically, don't push me off anything high!

Things that annoy me: people who use power to intimidate others, or to bully, or just get their own way.
