About me

I've been working in the outdoor industry for over 20yrs...wow...that soon added up.

Having stumbled into the industry not really focused on what life was about, I'm now a published author, team dynamic expert, adventure activity provider and first aid trainer. I have a passion for the outdoors, coaching, guiding, introducing or running group activities. If it involves me being outdoors...then I'll be happy and I'll share that enthusiasm with you.
