Born and brought up in north Wales, I consider there to be my home and have climbed extensively in the area with family and friends. I've been climbing and mountaineering for over 30 years in the UK and have also climbed in Canada, New Zealand, America, Peru as well as many locations in Europe. Along with my climbing experience I have over 15 years experience working in the industrial rope access world, on construction and civil engineering projects, oil & gas, rail and power generation where safety is paramount. With the chaos of the last couple of years along with, family commitments I'll be working out in Europe less and staying closer to home.
