I have had a varied and interesting career in civil and structural engineering, snowsport, management, training and coaching. As an engineer I have worked in the UK, Portugal and Oman. In snowsports I have worked in the UK and Europe.

With extensive experience of ski facility and ski school management, training and examining ski instructors and coaches, I write and deliver training for ski instructors and coaches through to international levels.
