Default Day Job

Well my day job is an optometrist...but I m a mathematician at heart who loves solving problems.

I started work life in a petrol station at the age of 10 and grew up helping my parents run two businesses...then went to uni to get an office job....but I hated the mundane nature of working for someone else...

So after a few years of various office roles including actuarial trainee, filing, management information systems, system admin....I finally quit and decided that I would learn to renovate houses whilst running a newsagent.

After 6 months of learning to diy....I soon realised to buy another house I needed a mortgage and to get a mortgage I needed a job....hence my search for a career that allowed me to choose when I worked.....So I went back to uni for the second time at the age of 27 to do optometry.....I would recommend university twice to anyone....it gave me the chance to do all those things I didnt do first time around....and boy was it fun!!!!!!!!!

After qualifying as an optometrist....I soon met my wife and brother in law Amar....and my passion for Audi a8 was started......combine that with a bunch of tools my dad left to me and what do you get.....me working 3 days as an optometrist....2-3 days tinkering with my car....and sunday to run the newsagent...
