Q. What's the best thing about working at the RGS?
A. Our students! They are (all) clever, (often) funny and (invariably) good-natured.

Q. What do you love about your department?
A. We all share a love of economics and our priority is to share that passion with our students so they have the best experience possible - academic results are a happy by-product of this approach.

A. Keeping fit, playing golf, having fire-pits and walking my border collie.

Q. If you could choose any other career, what would it be?

Q. If you could give one bit of advice to your younger self what would it be?
A. There's this thing called "Bitcoin". Buy some as soon as you hear about it. If that's not allowed, then I would tell him to live for more the now and spend more time with the people you love.

A. Jump.
