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:
“Picture the prince, such as most of them are today: a man ignorant of the law, well-nigh an enemy to his people’s advantage, while intent on his personal convenience, a dedicated voluptuary, a hater of learning, freedom and truth, without a thought for the interests of his country, and measuring everything in terms of his own profit and desires.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.”
—Feodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881)
