About

Former Personal Trainer with a diverse background in the trades industry and working for the most established health club in the UK, delivering exceptional Personal Training services with precision and professionalism catering to high end clientele with a range of different needs, from extreme weight loss to rehabilitation. I am looking to find my permanent job in the yachting industry as a deckhand or deck/PT so I can utilise my skill set to the yachts advantage and become a valuable asset to have on board. I have also spent a couple of years travelling the world where I have built up a social media presence for my drone videography and video editing.
