Editor About
I'm the Editor of The Roar and our sister site, Lost At E Minor (eminor.com). I have a passion for digital and sport. I'm an Electrical Engineer too.
I'm a horse racing nut, and I'm parochial for Newcastle teams: go the Red and Blue!
I love beautifully written, hard-hitting sports opinion.
