About me
In my youth I played lots of sports and enjoyed keeping myself fit and healthy. In my mid 20’s my career brought me to Norfolk and my lifestyle became poor; too much work, stress, a poor diet, too much alcohol and not enough physical activity.
Over the next 10-15 years my career advanced, but my health suffered with depression, being overweight and generally miserable with my lifestyle.

Early 2006, I left my career after another bout of illness.

I thought seriously about my future and decided I needed to sort out my unhealthy lifestyle. I got myself fit, lost several stones and consequently started to feel great. I decided that a career in health and fitness was for me. I would be able to help people who have, like me, struggled with their health and fitness, and I would have no excuse but to keep myself fit and healthy!

In recent years I have completed several challenges including mountain trekking / climbling including Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and climbed in the Andes on Mt Aconcagua in Argentina, the 3 peaks 24 hour challenge, the London Marathon and skydiving. I continue to set goals to stretch myself.

Current Health & Fitness Goals
My current health and fitness goals revolve around running. I am a keen member of Wymondham Athletic Club, always looking to beat my personal best (PB) in most distances from 5k to marathon. I am racing most weeks.
