Sporting History

1976 to 1995: I was heavily involved in athletics, competing in 100 metres, 200 metres and relay events.
I achieved local and national success representing school, Jersey Spartan AC, Jersey and Hampshire county (at various ages) and competed in four Island Games competitions, winning medals on each occasion.

1980: Represented Jersey in the under 15 Rugby squad.

1996 to 2006: Due to a knee injury I reluctantly had to stop athletics. I competed for a few years in the Jersey Volleyball league as a member of the Astros team.

1998 to date: I competed in hill climbs in Jersey, Guernsey and France. My fastest time up Bouley Bay is 47.31 seconds on a 2002 Yamaha R1.

2007: I competed in the British Motorcycle Racing Clubs (BEMSEE) Forza Xtreme championship on a 2002 Yamaha R1 1000cc motorcycle. The series consisted of 10 race weekends held at the following UK circuits Lydden Hill, Snetterton, Cadwell Park, Pembrey, Mallory Park and Brands Hatch.

I consistently finished midfield in the majority of races and finished the year in third place in the Rookie Championship (for racers in their first year of competition).
