Jack Featherstone

I am passionate about technology, and I am always excited to learn about the latest advancements in the field. From software to hardware, I love exploring new gadgets and experimenting with cutting-edge technologies. When I'm not tinkering with tech, I enjoy immersing myself in the world of movies and video games. Whether it's the latest blockbuster or an indie gem, I love getting lost in a good story. I also enjoy tabletop games, especially strategy and RPG games, which I find to be a great way to unwind and exercise my mind.

Im huge fan of comics, graphic novels, and Yu-Gi-Oh!, I love immersing myself in epic stories and intense battles. Comics and graphic novels let me dive into incredible worlds with complex characters, and there's something magical about how the art and story come together on each page. Yu-Gi-Oh! is the perfect blend of strategy and nostalgia for me; I still get a thrill from summoning powerful monsters and outsmarting my opponents.

When it comes to sports, I am a huge fan of American sports and ice hockey in particular. I have been a season ticket holder at the Sheffield Steelers for almost 10 years now, and I have had the pleasure of watching UK-based ice hockey grow in popularity over the years. My favorite NHL team is the San Jose Sharks, which I have been following for much longer. I love the fast-paced, physical nature of the game and the skill and athleticism required to play at a high level.

In addition to my passion for ice hockey, I am also an avid fan of other American sports, including the NFL, NBA, and Major League Baseball. I love keeping track of player statistics and analyzing the game's strategies and tactics. Whether it's tracking the latest football scores, following the race for the NBA playoffs, or checking out the latest MLB standings, I find it thrilling to immerse myself in the world of American sports. There's nothing quite like the excitement of watching your favorite team in action, and I love the camaraderie and sense of community that comes with being a sports fan.
