Interests
Calum has two young daughters who take up much of his free time. When he is not cooking, clearing up, providing snacks to order or using his training to mediate disputes (mostly unsuccessfully), he likes to get out on one of his very many bikes. Calum is also a keen rugby follower, although, being Scottish, he doesn’t get to celebrate very often.
