My passions
I’ve been involved in health and fitness from a young age from athletics to strength and conditioning, so I have always kept myself disciplined with fitness since leaving the army and developing my skills in the fitness industry.
I have a keen interest in Olympic weightlifting and highland games. I am very passionate about teaching and passing down knowledge and information that will help younger fitness professionals become great coaches.
