My Story

How My Mission to Elevate Others Shaped a Life of Service, Strategy & Success...

I’ve always been driven by a singular purpose: to unlock the true potential in others. From helping someone find their stride to pushing boundaries together, witnessing transformation fuels my passion.


My journey began at 13, when I taught myself to code, turning abstract ideas into tangible projects.

By 14, as England Hockey's goalkeeper, I learned leadership under pressure - a theme that would define my career. At 17, I entered the games industry with Genepool Software Ltd, where I designed and tested game levels, thriving on creative problem-solving. Publishing AAA title Wolverines Revenge.

Seeking greater challenges...

I joined the Royal Marines Commandos, earning my green beret as a Diamond and leading high-stakes missions in Afghanistan. This experience honed my ability to inspire excellence and resilience in extreme situations - while also facing close calls myself, losing friends in the process. Some of these experiences have since been published in books.

Post military life took a twist.

I transitioned into the private security sector, directing maritime operations from the Indian Ocean, Gulf of Oman and west Africa against pirates conducting acts of terrorism and kidnapping.

And then the best experience of my life... 

My son Troy was born! 


Becoming a Dad changed everything for me.  Living life on the edge didn't seem viable any longer.  I needed to build a career closer to home.

The obvious next best thing...

Applying for a role with the worlds most prestigious executive protection firm in Los Angeles was meant to keep me in the UK, but it didn't.  Protecting celebrities in Hollywood, taking sport stars to photoshoots in Europe or spending months on the road with business billionaire geniuses keep me focused on maximising team performance and personal safety.  Life at home was getting tough...

My second son Cole was born! 


This moment marked a pivotal shift. I came home for good.


Being boring was not on the cards...

At 33, I launched my company,
