“Most folk call me Mike, and I'm married to Sharon.

“I have 3 children, all pretty much adults Amy, Ben and Kacey.

“I drive a Special Needs school bus for the Education Authority.

“I am a loyal supporter of the Northern Ireland National Football Team and Tottenham Hotspur FC.

“I was a punk in my youth but now I have a very eclectic taste in music.

“I have had goatee beards before but 9 years ago I grew my first full beard, roughly 6 months later my wife had a stroke, when she was getting back to herself she told me that the extra growth suited me so I just maintained it from then until a few months back!
