Hey welcome to my blog, this weeks assignment was to fill out the Proust Questionnaire which can give some insight into who I am as person,friend,father and a few other interesting facts about myself. I try and make myself as transparent as I can be but if for some reason you have something else you would like to know about me please ask.
