Mini Bio
Adventure, travel and mountaineering have always been a fundamental aspect of my life from being a toddler, primarily inspired from my late grandfather’s love of mountaineering and his “snow-capped mountain slide show” as a kid sparked a light in my soul.
After a brief career in electronic engineering and banking, the passion of the outdoors was far too strong to ignore and a switch in career ensued, firstly to a conservation ranger in the Peak District and then guiding young people in the Himalaya, Africa and Europe.
Having now worked in the outdoors for over 30 years, it continues to be such a joy to share that passion and knowledge with others.
