Welcome to our weekly blog about DoF members.
We hope that these blogs will entertain you as well as help you in getting to know our members and DoF better.
We asked Paul 15 standard questions from our
Meet the Member blog questionnaire
and then we gave chance to our members to ask 5 specific questions.
My real name is Paul. The Vmax is from one of my motorcycles. I am pretty new to PC gaming. I had a Laptop which I would play a bit of Civ and COH.
I bought my first gaming PC because of COVID-19 as most of my sports and training facilities were closed.
Sports have been a large part of my life. I have competed in the following sports at a competitive level; Muay Thai, Boxing, Rugby, Hard Enduro, MTB, Trials Riding and 7.62 Target Rifle shooting.
When my second child arrived I dropped some of the sports and I am now only active in Muay Thai, and Hard Enduro at the moment.
I am currently doing a Doctorate in Mission Systems and Avionics. I currently hold a BEng Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering, MEng Engineering Science. I am also a Chartered Engineer and a Chartered Quality Professional.
