About me
I’m a loving, caring and very determined baker, athlete and boyfriend who wants people to know people like me can run a successful business. I own my own company - Coal Pit Welsh Cakes - I was the first man in Wales with Down's Syndrome to run a marathon and I'm proud of everything I do.
Myth to bust: People with a learning disability can’t work for themselves. I do! And I help others put passion into their business.
