ABOUT ME

Having left the corporate world behind when I was Leading a 30 strong Global Team, I have followed my passion and become a sporting coach of multiple disciplines.

My story began 18 years ago when I started running in the gym and I could only run a mile before I had to stop. Through listening to other athletes and working with coaches I have been on an incredible journey that has seen me complete:-

7 Ironman Triathlons, 22 Half Ironman Triathlons

26 Marathons, 44 Half Marathons and 153 5K Runs

What I really enjoy and am passionate about, is helping people on their sporting and fitness journeys. I’m not your typical athlete, I was the big fat kid at school everyone took the mickey out of, but through determination, diet, training, coaching and mental strength I have overcome all barriers in my way, to cross many finishing lines and realise hundreds of goals.

I will be able to relate to your situation and I will be able to help you achieve your goals, whether it’s your first Open Water Swim or trying to gain a competitive edge in your next running race or triathlon.

I don’t just work with athletes and people racing, I love to work with and engage with people that just want to experience the joys of fitness and sport.

I look forward to helping you achieve all your goals and sporting passions.
