Having recently retired as a Royal Marine Commando, I've made the decision to transition away from military life to pursue a career in the health and fitness industry. This choice stems from my newfound role as a father and the desire to spend more time with my family.
My passion for sports and fitness dates back to my school days, leading me to pursue a BTECH in Sport Exercise Science at Filton College (SGS college). During my time there, I excelled on the college's basketball first team, competing at the elite level across the country while gaining international experience away in Belgium and Germany. I also was one of a few college players to represent the Bristol Flyers (then Division 1 NBL) men's first team.
Following college, I continued my academic and athletic journey at Loughborough University, studying Sports Science and Management while playing under Coach Drew Sullivan, the GB basketball captain. Graduating after four years, I pursued a professional basketball career, representing teams like the Leicester Riders and eventually returning to my hometown of Bristol to play for the Flyers in the British Basketball League. However, after a season with the Leeds Force I faced considerable personal challenges and realised the need for a fresh start, a new direction.
Drawing on my family's military background, I made the decision to join the Royal Marines, seeking to challenge myself and make a positive change in my life. Now, with nearly six years of diverse experiences, I've discovered my true career path. My time in the Corps has taught me invaluable lessons about physical fitness and personal development. Combining my education, athletic background, and military experience, I am now equipped with a Personal Training Level 3 qualification and a wealth of knowledge to support others in their fitness journey.
I am committed to helping individuals become fitter, faster, and stronger, while also fostering confidence, well-being, and overall health within the community I aim to build.
