He has spent a number of years living and studying abroad in Asia and Latin America which has taught him to be flexible and adaptable by applying familiar concepts to unfamiliar situations, all while demonstrating the ability to communicate effectively in multiple languages.

Outside the Office

In addition to his love of travelling and experiencing new cultures, Connor also spends time chasing after his three dogs: Watson, Crick and Harley and looking for new recipes to try for his monthly supper club.
