What is your sporting ambition?
To be the best in the world
What was your inspiration to take up your sport?
Probably when my brother started trampolining. I fancied doing it as well and fancied beating him!
What are your interests outside of sport?
I go and watch Northampton Town FC pretty much every Saturday that I am not competing. I read a lot of books, mainly sporting autobiographies, and hang out with friends.
In your mind, what's the most memorable moment of past Olympics/Paralympics?
Usain Bolt breaking three World Records, at the Beijing Olympics, on his way to three gold medals will stick in my memory forever. Chris Hoy winning three golds and Steve Redgrave getting his five aren’t easily forgotten either.
What three words best describe you?
Driven. Firey. Happy.
Who should light the flame for London 2012?
Probably Sir Steve Redgrave. He’s a legend, isn’t he?
If you were a character from a film, who would you be and why?
I’d be Forest Gump. Because he worked hard and got his rewards and had an incredible journey along the way.
