I’ve been involved in Mountaineering & Watersports coaching since I was 13, causing upset to the Careers Adviser who thought Architecture would be better for me! At 18 I haggled my way onto a Traineeship in South Wales giving me the best career kickstart & mentoring.
Embroiled in Sport & Adventure, to National & International Level in a number of sports: Triathlon, Surf Kayaking, Trampolining, White Water Rafting & Climbing; I’m the most qualified Kayak Coach in the British Canoeing scheme; with 3 Level 5’s in White-Water, Sea & Surf Kayak along with the highest assessor grades.
Not “just a boater” I’m an MIC & IML, a BASI L2 & Triathlon Coach. I hold a Degree in Sport Science, Sport Psychology & Coaching & a PGCE in Physical Education.
My company, Acwa-Terra, specialises in Adventure Consultancy & Technical Advice in Mountaineering, Climbing, Canoesport, Surfing, SUP, Coasteering & Gorge Walking to organisations across the UK, Europe & Asia.
I still keep it real, coaching & personal training athletes in Triathlon & Open Water Swimming as well as the other activities of Acwa-Terra. I’ve had various roles in 30 years, providing vast experience & knowledge to draw upon including Senior Instructor, Lecturer, Operations Manager, Coach Development & Educator, Quality Assurance, National Trainer, Associate & Expedition Leader.
I’m a supported Surf & Sea Kayaker, a Patagonia, Black Diamond, Palm Equipment & System-X ‘Pro’.
Unusual facts: I once ranked 10th in World Bog-Snorkeling Championships; circumnavigated Andorra solo on ski; first person to swim to the Skerries off Anglesey; made a Ski ascent of Elbrus & I’m the only person to have skied the Welsh 14 peaks in a day; I’m also a helicopter pilot.
When not helping other folks develop their careers, I’ll be adventuring somewhere, either near home, with my partner & daughter in Snowdonia or in some other equally exotic spot around the globe, notching to date experience & adventures in over 30 countries Worldwide.
