BACKGROUND

I am an experienced Director of Sport with a teaching background in England and

international experience in Uzbekistan, Oman, Malaysia, Argentina, Mongolia and

Switzerland. Last year I returned to England and am currently teaching PE at Sussex

House, a prestigious prep school for boys in Sloane Square, London.

I have played professional cricket and also coached cricket professionally at various

levels from beginners to internationals. I have been teaching (predominantly secondary

level but also primary) and coaching for over 25 years and beyond sport have also been

a Deputy Head and Housemaster and have successfully managed large numbers of

staff and pupils. 

I have a First Class Honours degree in Sport Science, a variety of coaching

qualifications in various sports and am a 200hr certified yoga teacher. I have also played

semi-professional Kent League football. I enjoy being active, like to keep fit, and

nowadays like to go trekking and practise yoga/movement when time allows. I speak tidy

Spanish, some French, and am a beginner in Russian. 

PERSONAL 

I am motivated, enjoy teaching and coaching, and like a challenge. I have climbed Mount

Kinabalu and The Pinnacles in Borneo, and have trekked in various locations worldwide

including the Gobi Desert and Altai Mountains in Mongolia, the Argentinian Sierra, the

deserts of Oman and the Swiss Alps. I have plodded around two London Marathons and

cycled across England twice. I am patient and caring, remain energetic even at 56, have

a decent sense of humour and am a good communicator.
