Hi, I’m Mike, I’m 37, I’ve been with my partner for 15 years now and we have a 4 year old daughter who is going on 14! I currently work as a Marketing Manager.

I grew up playing rugby, but due to injury (and age), I now tend to spend any spare time participating in endurance sports such as ultra marathons and triathlons. All of which need resilience, determination, discipline and respect – all transferable skills and relatable to Lads Need Dads.

Having grown up with divorced parents, I have some knowledge of what it’s like not having a daily presence of a male role model. I spent every other weekend with my dad, but once I gained freedom (my driving license), I made sure I saw him as much as I could. Having been through that, I hope to be able mentor lads coming into this organisation and help them realise their full potential.
