His passion for climbing started in the South of England on sandstone outcrops in his teens. He trained as a climbing instructor at the age of 16 while working at Mile End Climbing Wall. He was lucky to train and work around an inspiring group of people. Long sessions in the board room, building climbing walls and route setting all helped it sink in. After a short period of competition climbing and traveling the world he returned to education.

He graduated in 2010 as a qualified Physiotherapist, going on to work within sport, private practice and occupational health. With further training in hand therapy, upper limb conditions and running injuries, a specialism in climbing and outdoor sports evolved.
