Having spent more than 20 years teaching, the majority in either director of rugby or director of sport positions, I was looking for a career change and last Spring started doing some part time work for Gullivers leading groups to the European Rugby Cup and the football Euros. I was then offered a permanent position in September.

My favourite moment at Gullivers has to be being in Lyon to see Saracens become champions of Europe and accompanying the Army Medical Services rugby team to Texas last October.

My favourite place to travel is probably still out there! I loved the west coast of Canada, Australia and the Southern Cape, plus many more wonderful places, however I am keen to still search some more. In my spare time, I have two young boys who keep me both entertained and busy! As a family we enjoy the outdoors, playing and watching sport, and when the opportunity arises we love to ski, which replaces the adrenaline from my old rugby days.
