David Ireland

Hello, my name is David and unsurprisingly I love board games. It's also one thing I do to improve my mental wellbeing. I find board games are perfect to escape the pressures of modern life, focus in on something challenging and (critically) have fun. Don't be fooled here, I'm also a competitive monster and play to win every time. But having that success of a victory is the added bonus. So long as I'm having fun I'm happy.

As well as gaming I love getting outdoors with the family and friends. Playing sport, exercising. I'm a qualified (Level 1) badminton coach and in a past life a gym instructor, fitness class instructor and trampoline coach. I love podcasts, music, radio. In the pandemic and lockdown I've got back into Kerrang Radio, "everything that Rocks" is the music I love. I enjoy doing a range of different things and sharing these moments with my family. I also enjoy trying new things which is why I'm having a go at blogging about a hobby I love. I hope you enjoy my writing and experiences.
