About Me

Joel David Reed - While working on his narrative concept "The Interview"

Apart from Interactive Media/Web Design and Information Technology I have many interests outside of both work and University.

I have a wide and varied selection of hobbies; I try to keep as fit as I can and to do this I currently play football at 11 and 7 a-side, go to the gym three times a week and I also play tennis (weather permitting) through the summer months.

When I can I like to travel to the South-West of England, to places such as Cornwall where I can surf.

I also enjoying playing pool, snooker and the occasional game of poker as I like the combination of skill and mental strength that these games entail.

Listening to music helps me to relax, I usually opt for rock or indie styles of music and I go out and listen to live music events on a regular basis, these past events have included the V and Leeds Festival, as well as Kasabian, The Fratellis, Editors, Kaiser Chiefs, The Enemy and The Stereophonics in concert.

I love reading, not only books surrounding my area of study but fiction, especially crime/psychological thrillers. Favorite authors of mine include James Patterson, Jeffery Deaver and Peter James.

I also consider myself a bit of a film buff, spending time watching my ever growing library of DVDs at home, as well as the latest releases at my local cinema.
