My career began in the UK Royal Engineers as a design draughtsman, with operational tours in Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, and Kosovo (I became the tour hairdresser but you may not want me to help with that as I cannot promise what the outcome will be!) 

Since leaving the military, I've held diverse roles including CAD Manager at Selfridges London, Functions Coordinator at Weymouth & Portland Sailing Academy, Document Controller for KBR in Afghanistan (yes back out there), Sportivator for Sports for Schools (Getting kids into exercise), Office Manager for a plumbing and heating company and many more but my most significant achievement is inventing the 'Bottle Buddi,' a product designed to help children remember their water bottles. I built this business from the ground up, successfully selling over 30,000 units across the UK over seven years, and was honoured with the eBay Innovation Award in 2018
