Outside of bowls what would be your dream job? Any job that enabled me to work in sport or disability assisting others
Favourite non-bowls athlete and why: Was always Federer, MJ and Tiger because they all maximised their amazing natural talent through dedication to hard work.

Cats or dogs: Dogs
Which player would be the most likely to be invited to Coach Gary Willis’ house for dinner? Not me as he tells anyone that will listen I do not shout.

Most embarrassing memory you have: Being oblivious to accidentally wearing a wrist sweatband inside my Australian cap during my first ever televised match whilst it protruded out causing everyone to constantly ask, “What is in Jimmy’s hat?” Highly amusing for others, not so much for me.
Ideal holiday destination and why: Thailand – great weather and easy to relax
