Bio
Darragh White
Oliver is one of the most focused individuals I have had the pleasure to meet. While never having worked in a professional role together, while I earned my living from playing Poker, Oliver put me to shame with his dedication and willingness to improve at what was nothing more than a hobby and knowing the professionalism and effort he put into this, I can only begin to imagine the efficiency and relentless nature he is able to put into his work. Very good natured and personable person I can only say good things and it would be a pleasure to work alongside / with him in the future in any role should the opportunity ever arise.
