  • As a boy, I was influenced by my uncle, who first sparked my enthusiasm for the outdoors. That early spark grew into a lifelong passion for exploration and adventure. Today, I find myself guiding, instructing, and introducing people to new and exciting environments—helping others connect with the mountains and wilderness in meaningful ways.

    Climbing has brought me immense joy over the years, and one of the greatest rewards is being part of someone’s journey as they progress towards becoming confident, independent mountaineers and climbers. There’s nothing quite like watching that transformation unfold.

    I am currently training to be a British Mountain Guide, but I also hold a summer and winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor awards.

  • Growing up in Africa, adventure wasn’t just a hobby — it was a way of life. From a young age, I was drawn to the outdoors, embracing every opportunity to explore wild places. By the time I was 17, I had already discovered my passion for mountaineering at altitude, which then shaped much of my life to come.

    My journey took me on incredible expeditions across the globe, where I honed my leadership skills by meticulously planning, executing, and reviewing mountain bike and high-altitude adventures. Alongside that, I gained valuable experience navigating the rivers of Kenya and Uganda through rafting and kayaking, adding new dimensions to my understanding of outdoor challenges.

    In 2016, driven by a desire to deepen my skills and credentials, I made the big move to move to Scotland. Here, I focused on earning British mountain qualifications. Today, I am proud to be a qualified Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor, a Winter Mountain Leader, and a Level 2 Mountain Bike Instructor. I’m also certified as a Gold Velotech bike mechanic.

    Every journey has taught me something new — about the mountains, about adventure, and most importantly, about people. My goal is to share that knowledge and passion with others, helping them find their own path in the mountains, whether that’s climbing, biking, or simply experiencing the thrill of the wild.
