About Me
My name is Damian Savage and I am a IT Operations Management Professional from Worthing, West Sussex, United Kingdom.
I have a strong passion for photography and travel and these go hand in hand sometimes as I have taken far too many photos on my travels! I love new technology and have to have the latest whenever it comes out! I enjoy various music genres, from dance to rock to cheese as I was once a party DJ in my earlier years and still have a play around with my DJ controller when time allows. I also enjoy going to watch various sports such as football and various forms of motorsports.
