Q: Where would you be on a Friday night?

A: A lot of small businesses that buy from Log Enterprises, they do happy hours especially on Friday night so I go out sometimes and support them.

A: Well my favourite meal is Curry Duck and Dalpree roti, that’s a Trinidadian dish, but I love it.

Q: What challenges you most in life?

A: Making people happy, I always like to see people happy. When people are happy, everybody around you is happy as well. There won’t be any cursing or fighting and so on.

So when you are around me and you’re not, it is my challenge to make you feel comfortable.

Q: What is the most enjoyable aspect of your life?

A: My inspiration comes from my wife of 23 years and my three children.

A: I would make sure there is no poverty at all.

Q: Where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years?
