Via Birmingham and the Netherlands Michael ended up in Lincolnshire working for the BBC.

Starting out on the news team Michael eventually moved onto the sports side.

Aside from a short spell in London working for the BBC Michael has helped oversee the growth in the sport on BBC Radio Lincolnshire which has seen more than 200 commentaries in 4 years.

Away from work Michael spends his time boosting the brewers, distillers, computer games manufacturers and vineyard owners profits.

A perfect day is with mates in the sun with a nice chilled drink.
