I am a motivational speaker with a great deal of experience as an educator, businessman and record breaking sportsman.

Over many years of educational and sporting achievements I have accumulated vast experience giving me a unique insight into the complexities of personal motivation and the development of teamwork.

My sporting experiences in education, rugby and swimming have contributed to my ability to set personal goals which have provided me with the ability to achieve at the very highest level. With many years in education, I am an experienced communicator and comfortable in any speaking environment.

 I have completed a number of iconic open water swims including

• Europe to Asia at Hellespont ( 58 minutes )

• Lake Windermere ( 3 times including a Double way swim of the lake )

• English Channel From Jersey to France ( 9 hours 18 minutes )

• Dover to the French Coast ( 14 hours )

• On Porpoise Diabetes UK relay across the English Channel ( 16 hours 6 minutes )

• English Channel from Alderney to France (6 hours 27 minutes )

I am the only person in history to have crossed the english channel to France swimming from two different Channel Islands.

I am the first New Zealander to complete a two way swim of lake Windermere and the first to complete the Jersey to France Channel crossing. additionally, I am the oldest person to complete both of these swims.

In 2015 i swam the 44 miles around the Channel island of Jersey in 10 hours and 56 minutes. My next planned swims include the Gibraltar Strait crossing  and English Channel swim as well as undertaking an Ice mile swim in sub 5 degree  water.
