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 and/or life:
“... while one-half of the people of the United States are robbed of their inherent right of personal representation in this freest country on the face of the globe, it is idle for us to expect that the men who thus rob women will not rob each other as individuals, corporations and Government.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“One’s prime is elusive. You little girls, when you grow up, must be on the alert to recognize your prime at whatever time of your life it may occur. You must then live it to the full.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
