Secret lives of Xinjas:
curious xinja JJ
We think it’s important to really get to know our xinja work comrades; unpack what they’re really into – as you never know where that hobby/interest might come in handy when you’re designing and building a bank.
In this series, we bring you the secret lives of Xinjas; an exploration of what rocks their world.
On the weekends I like to hit the mats and train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with my coach…while listening to some old school soul and funk!

If you were to get a tattoo, what would it say or what would the image be?
