About Me Hi,
my name's Dave Watkins - I'm the one on the left. I come from Cardiff
originally though I later went to school in England when my parents
worked abroad. I spent my gap year in Washington, DC working as a
cycle courier before entering Oxford University to study Fine Art.In my early 20s I spent a number of years playing the guitar in a couple of bands (Chicago Blues, Soul/Funk and R&B). I also spent a year teaching English in France followed by a year managing the recording studio/music facility of a local youth centre in Cardiff run for disadvantaged members of the community. I then went on to gain a Diploma in Business Administration from Cardiff University before entering a career in sales working for a Xerox concessionaire in London. In 1999 I stopped working in sales and decided to leave London, move back to Cardiff and begin renovating and letting out terraced houses in the city centre. I am married with young children. My wife, Suzuyo, has helped me immeasurably when renovating all of the properties. She single-handedly did almost all of the decorating and assembled the majority of all the flatpacked furniture whilst I ran around like a headless chicken trying to coordinate all the tradesmen, but being of little use myself! When I'm not managing my properties or looking after my kids, apart from music, I like reading, swimming, watching a good film and, when the opportunity presents itself, would love to cycle tour around the world. I also love surfing though my abiliy level doesn't quite match my enthusiasm! |
