About Me

Welcome to my website, welcome to my sporting world.

I guess I am what you would describe as a pro-am multi-sport athlete. What that means is that I put a level of training, commitment and high level performance that is like someone who is doing a sport as a profession, but I do it whilst fitting it around a family, job and other activities. Of course now I'm over 40 I am now too old to compete or have aspirations at true elite level competition in such a physically demanding set of sports, but I still have a few targets to achieve and I love giving those youngsters, who I can still manage to show a clean pair of heels to, a well deserved beating ! - There has to be some upsides to age !!

I have been self coached as runner and multi-sporter for many years and this is an area where I am increasingly busy and in demand. I am a UK Athletics qualified coach and I coach some of Guernsey's developing endurance athletes and multi-sporters.

The highlight of my sporting career has been representing Guernsey at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006. Indeed carry the Guernsey flag into the opening ceremony at the MCG in front of 100,000 spectators was just simply an awesome experience.

In 2010 I competed in my first M-dot event Austria 70.3 and won my age group, I picked up a silver at the World Duathlon Champs 45-49 (Edinburgh) and ended the season with three weeks in Delhi as Team Manager for the Guernsey Athletics team at the Commonwealth Games.
