BIOGRAPHY
I'm a former army officer, having trained with Rowallan Company and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. I served five years with the Royal Engineers under British Army and NATO operational deployments.
As well as being a keen amateur sailor, my adventurous activities include travel in South America and South East Asia on foot and mountaineering, climbing in excess of 5000m on three separate expeditions.
In addition to personal challenges, I am also a member of the Association of Pole Lather Turners, whose aim is the promotion of pole lathe woodland crafts.
I'm currently working as a logistics supply chain manager with a leading snack food manufacturer in the Midlands. I'm married to Antonia, with two sons.
