I hope you find this history site interesting, it is a labour of love, and I  am delighted with the comments and feedback I receive, and I also receive a lot of requests to help track down family members.​

​

I grew up in South Dorset the Son of a Royal Marine with both Grandfathers seeing service in WW2 with the RN, my Dads Father saw action as a Gunner on Ajax at the Battle of the River Plate and ended up commanding a Destroyer being awarded a DCO, DSC and bar.

 

I joined the Marine Cadets at 12 or 13 and after leaving school and passing the recruit selection process I joined the Royal Marines on the 6th June 1988, after completing 9 months of Commando training in 1989 I joined my first unit 45 Commando and spent the next 18 years serving across the globe in various roles including 8 operational deployments.

​

Since leaving in 2006 I have worked all over the world from the US to China, Japan and the Middle East supporting governments and corporations both large and small in risk management, training and coaching including risk assessments and gap analysis of critical assists from prisons to ports.

​​

I've been lucky, I have seen pink dolphins whilst training Hovercraft Crews & Special Forces to conduct Drugs Interdiction's on the Amazon, I've engaged in firefights with Somali Pirates from the Oil Tanker 'Island Splendor' in the Indian Ocean. I lead the planning for evacuation of persons during the Arab Spring for a large insurance broker, and trained personnel to manage crisis in Beirut.

​​

Then a Covid forced inflection where I worked for 2 years with the amazing people in the Film & TV Industry as a production Risk and Safety advisor for Lucas Film, Disney, Amazon & Apple I got to meet hard working crew and some amazing cast.

​

More recently I have been involved in development and specialist training of military forces in the Middle East.

​​

I still work as a freelance consultant, risk manager and trainer, and in my spare time I am writing scripts for TV and Film.
