Personal Life
Waites was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire. He currently resides in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, with his partner Lucy. He has a son, Michael, with his ex-partner Sally. Sally was seriously ill during most of 2010, which was believed to have been a major factor in Waites's decision to continue playing in the BDO rather than turn professional and join the PDC.
Waites is not a full-time professional player and he earns his full-time living as a carpenter for the council-linked Pennine Housing 2000, Calderdale.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I feel a sincere wish indeed to see our government brought back to it’s republican principles, to see that kind of government firmly fixed, to which my whole life has been devoted. I hope we shall now see it so established, as that when I retire, it may be under full security that we are to continue free and happy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
