Growing up in the Lake District, Steve relentlessly pursued a career in adventure sports. A former professional national team skier, ski coach and an accomplished professional paraglider pilot – he lived in the Alps for over 10 years which saw him develop an anglo/french Action and Mountain Sports school with his French Mountain Guide colleague. His career subsequently took him all over the world culminating in a period of 4 years in Norway where he worked in publishing and also coached elite level ski racers (he also toured Europe as a member of a professional Norwegian Telemark Ski demo team).
Outside sport, Steve ran a successful design & branding agency for over 10 years, working mainly in the outdoor sector on hundreds of projects.
Currently he sits on the board of directors for the respected Kendal Mountain Festival (Kendal Mountain Events) – the world’s premier gathering for outdoor adventurers and enthusiasts. Steve looks after UK and International business partnerships and is one of the main presenters on-stage for key events and interviews. He is often consulted in the media as an outdoor industry expert.
