CURRENT MISSION

Life is sweet and what it brings, I try to take" (Buck/Mills/Stipe)

ABOUT ME

I was in the British Army for a while, like any job it had its ups and downs. Whilst in the military I learned just how fragile and precious life is. And how it isn't a dress rehearsal - you don't get to come back...

...So it's important to me to have as many positive experiences as I can and enjoy life to the full.

PHILOSOPHY

'Walk Unafraid' (Buck/Mills/Stipe)

Karma - if you're a good person, it's generally your friend! Also - good fortune can happen to anyone at any time but mostly, I believe a persons decisions and behaviours lead them to make their own luck...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Austrian Alps in the winter (snowboarding) and summer (trail walking). Absolutely breathtaking views!

Also - being stood in a swimming pool in Ibiza - all the guys with their trunks on their heads and all the girls with their full bikinis on their heads! Quite possibly the most surreal and fun experience I've had on any continent at 3 o'clock in the afternoon! ;O)

Teach, Learn, Share

I generally have a few Army-related stories to share (especially after a couple of beers!) Some are hilarious, some are sad and some just downright nasty!
