What I do at Datatrial:

All things financially related although, as with many growing organisations of our size, my role is wide and varied. At the end of the year I do get to count the beans and hopefully find enough left over to reinvest in order to provide an even better service for our customers.  

What I like about working at Datatrial:

Working with a talented and committed team with no two days the same. 

How medicine has positively impacted my family’s life:

Medicines help in controlling the symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Muscular Dystrophy, both of which have affected my family. Sadly, there are no cures yet but, hopefully, ongoing clinical trials will make a significant breakthrough in the not too distant future.      

Some of the things I enjoy doing outside of work:

As both my wife and daughter play, golf is high on the list for leisure time. Once my daughter starts hitting it further than me (she is 12 and it won’t be long) I may not play as much!!  I also do a fair bit of cycling, usually with my son. Despite my investment in new cycling technology he is invariably a dot on the horizon. It’s good to compete!       

My favourite movie and book:

Too many movies to single one out but I will watch anything with Jack Nicholson in. I am a voracious reader (including of a thesaurus) and especially enjoy US crime writers such as Michael Connelly and James Lee Burke.  If you want to visit Louisiana and save on travel expenses, read Burke!
