First and foremost I am a husband to Claudia and father to Tylo. I think of myself as reasonably adventurous but not necessarily an adventurer, perhaps this will change.

Born at the end of the wacky 1960’s I grew up in the Blackpool in the North West of England, where I lived with my parents and two sisters, often traveling for day trips to the local countryside and especially the stunning local Lake District.  I was fortunate to travel with work and also on vacations with pals most of my adulthood, mainland Europe being the most covered region during these years, with the odd trip further afield to USA and Thailand. I relocated with work to Cape Town in 1999 where I am a co-founder and Business Coach of our family run Coaching Consultancy.
