Experience

I began my career in the Royal Navy as a Clearance Diver which involved blowing things up such as old mines and working on ships and submarines. The Navy was great in many ways but in particular that there were lots of opportunities to travel to exotic places and meet interesting people, also to take part in different sports, adventures and physical activity. My next career port of call was to explore my passion for health, fitness and education and become a tutor and assessor for fitness industry qualifications, also delivering group exercise and one to one training sessions to people of all ages and abilities. Working in the education sector has allowed me to meet many passionate and creative people who have affected and inspired me.
