About Me

My name is Kevin O'Rourke, I am 39 and live in Milton Keynes with my wife Julie. I work full time for a wine company called Hallgarten who sell wine to restaurants and bars. I also have my own business www.wineman.co.uk which sells wine to the public and also to companies.

In addition to this I like to challenge myself in other ways which most "normal people" would find a bit mad, In the past I have done 3 firewalks, extreme cross country running and competed in a variety of distances in running and triathlon.

I only started training in 2006 when I saw a poster on the wall at David Lloyd gym advertising the Milton Keynes Half Marathon on our wedding anniversary, this was while I was on the treadmill bitching to my wife about how much I hated running. That was to be her anniversary present from me and the start of this crazy journey.

I like to push myself in a variety of ways and feel that if I don't have something to focus on I get stale and bored and just coast through life. Life is precious and can be cut short at any time. I could be focusing on the past and wishing to change it or dreaming about the future and hallucinating about how wonderful it could be. However I prefer to have manageable and possibly attainable short term goals with the bigger picture just far enough away to make it appear massive but the journey there will make it achieveable.

I find that constant learning and application of what i learn really helps me. I have been to see Tony Robbins and Dr John Demartini and both made a huge impression on me. I now learn new things about life on a daily basis from a wonderful library of personal development called Success University this way I can continue to expand my knowledge and commit to a lifetime of education and ways to improve myself.
