I’m a special needs mentor and a father of two boys. I am recently married to my long term partner. I have a unique ability to make children with special needs laugh, feel comfortable in my pressence and accept, very quickly, as no threat at all. I paint, draw and sculpt during my days off, just recently adding photography to my portfolio.
I have over the past 5 years suffered from high-blood-pressure due to not looking after myself. This has resulted in many trips to the doctors, with a few stays in hospital due to an irregular heartbeat. I gave up work as precaution and use the added hours to feed my passion of all things art.
I am a happy house-husband now, going about my daily chores with structure, enthusiasm and sometimes with distaste. All this technology is fairy new to me so there maybe a few clitches on the way.Hope to speak to you all soon. And feel free to browse my site.
Thanks.
Richard.
