It is a regret that I didn’t learn to ski until I was 38, but I have endeavoured to make up for lost time since!  It was the Ski Club of Great Britain who brought me to Wengen for the first time as a Rep. in 2017, but it is the DHO that keeps me coming back ever since, including spending 10 weeks or so in each of the last three seasons.  The social gathering of so many like minded people with similar ski aspirations is a winning formula.  I am also incredibly grateful to the DHO for introducing me to ski racing proving that you are never too old to start.  I compete in as many club races as I can when not leading and raced the Inferno for DHO last year, narrowly missing out on a bronze replica.

I am a BASI qualified ski instructor.  When not skiing I enjoy mountain biking and hiking in the hills either in the Alps or at home in the Isle of Man.
