I hold the MIC (Mountain Instructor Certificate), I am a full member of AMI (Association of Mountain Instructors) alongside this I am a registered member of the Mountain Instructors Community. The qualifications I hold allow me to work in all conditions in Great Britain and Ireland, Summer and Winter. My personal climbing experience throughout Great Britain, Europe and other parts of the world combine to give me a solid base to help you on your adventures in the mountains. I am also a qualified kayak and canoe coach (Level 2), Artificial Ski Slope Instructor and Alpine Ski Course Leader.

Climbing and being in the mountains is something which I am passionate about, I enjoy sharing this passion with those who I spend days out on the hill with. I have climbed throughout Great Britain, Europe and Yosemite. Notable ascents include North Faces of The Eiger, Piz Badile and Aiguille Verte, The South Pillar on the Barre des Ecrins;  Point Five Gully, Ben Nevis; The Nose, El Capitan, Yosemite; Left Wall, Llanberis Pass; Comes the Dervish, Llanberis Slate; Original Route; Old Man of Steor.

After graduating from a Geography (BSc) degree at Aberystwyth University, my instructional career began with a successful and enjoyable period of time spent working at Plas y Brenin, The National Mountain Centre in Snowdonia. I have continued to work at Plas y Brenin and for other companies offering specific climbing and mountaineering skills courses as well as national governing body award training and assessment. In contrast to this I have experience of working with young people at education centre's, these include Kent Mountain Centre, Marle Hall OEC and most recently Ogwen Cottage OPC. Combining work with young people and adults has allowed me to gain experience in working with a variety of ages, abilities and motivation levels. Through work at Ogwen I have spent a great deal of time using outdoor adventure as a vehicle for personal and social development. This range of experience has enabled me to think a great deal about the teaching methods I use and make them appropriate to the students or clients on a particular course.
