Meet the Team

BSc(Hons),HCPC Paramedic, ILS Instructor

After leaving school with no real qualifications, I started on a YTS scheme that saw me learning animal care which led to a placement in a veterinary practice and eventually after further training qualifying as a veterinary nurse. I was 1 of only 17 male vet nurses in the country at the time. 

This career sparked my interest in medicine and after moving to London for work, a chance meeting gave me an opportunity  to change tack and  join London Ambulance Service in 1996 and train to became a Paramedic. 

In 1999, I moved back to my native Wirral and joined Mersey Regional Ambulance Service (now North West Ambulance Service) where I still work as a Paramedic part time on frontline Emergency Ambulances within Merseyside and Cheshire. The rest of the time passing on my own knowledge and experiences teaching others valuable life saving skills.  

I currently live in North Wales with my long term partner, two young sons and a house full of animals.
