      Mini Bio

      I grew up in London but became exposed to the mountains in the UK through mountain biking with a friend. Over recent years, I have explored the hills a lot, progressing as a climber and mountaineer, living in North Wales and Scotland. As an outdoor instructor, I enjoy sharing space with people in beautiful places.

      I appreciate the restored balance that being outside brings, and am inspired to share this with others. Guiding tours and facilitating experiences is a responsibility that I enjoy, as well as sharing conversations, broadening my knowledge, and getting to know different cultures.

      Favourite Place to Play

      Torridon. What an outrageous landscape. Whether there in summer or winter, climbing or just standing by the Loch, the place is amazing.

      Not a lot of People Know This

      I was also a Wimbledon ball boy. I have also tried my hand at stand-up comedy. Although not at the same time.
