Biography

I’d been riding on and off for most of my childhood from the age of 5, at the age of 16 I was booked in for my CBT and have barely been off a bike since.

My riding experience is varied with thousands of road miles a year, numerous track days attended and off road riding experience in the form of mainly trials riding but also trail & enduro.

I began instructing riders back in 2004, at the time becoming one of the youngest Fully DAS qualified instructors in the country. I established MTS Rider Training in 2013 and was invited by BMW Rider Training in 2019 to run their Southwest centre, which is currently one of only 4 BMW Motorrad supported Training schools in the country.

Having previously been a retained firefighter for 12.5 years (finishing in 2015) it sees me have a different approach to the training I/we offer, with an emphasis on the development of a riders understanding and knowledge of their bike and riding both theoretically and practically.

Most recently I have become an instructor with the HRT Rider Training team and their amazing Better Riding training days held at Cadwell Park.

Currently I am a Fully Qualified DAS instructor, ERS Qualified, and have in recent years passed the IAM Advanced Test with a FIRST and passed the ROSPA Diploma in Advanced Instruction with DISTINCTION.

Above all, I am a biker that is passionate about helping keep bikers (new and experienced) safe on our roads.
