I am a Police Officer in the West Midlands Police, and have a passion for off road running. An avid fell runner and head coach of Mercia Fell Runners, I became a Fell running coach, and have progressed to having a coaching business called Trail Run West Midlands.
Based in the Lickey Hills on the border or Birmingham and Worcestershire, I coach runners new and advanced to run on the trails, progressing from Road to Trail to Fell. I coach group sessions and individual and have created a trail running community where runners feel safe and welcome to explore the local off road area.
My love for the outdoors, especially the mountains came from serving seven years in the Parachute Regiment and serving on operations. I feel free and alive in the mountains.
My biggest achievement to date was completing the Ultra Trail Snowdonia 50, with great views in the Snowdonia mountains, it was amazing.
Living in the host city for this Expo, makes me proud and you would be surprised what Birmingham and the surrounding areas have to offer. I look forward to meeting and speaking to you at the show.
