| Introduction | At the age of 16 I joined the Royal Marines and undertook 30 weeks of arduous Commando Training, culminating in the Commando tests and a 30 mile weighted run.I left the Marines in 2006 and trained as a close protection operative and Medic in South Africa. The Medic training was outstanding including working as a front line paramedic in the townships of Cape Town. This training proved its worth when I gained a contract to work in Iraq as a close protection operator. So far in 2010 I have competed in several events including the London Marathon (completed in 3 hours 25 minutes) and tried my hand at triathlons. I have completed a number of triathlons from Sprint distance to an Ironman, where I impressed myself with a time of 11 hours 26 minutes. Health and Fitness is a huge part of my life. I feel I have proved to myself that if you want something enough and you are willing to put in the required time and dedication you will achieve it. My mission is to inspire and instill the self confidence and self belief so that you can excel in reaching your own goals. |
