About Me

well a few people have met me on boats and said your nothing like i expected so i thought i would write abit about me and where i am today

I left school in 84, the only thing i ever wanted to do was become a soldier so as soon as i was free of school i walked into the careers office and joined up, i wont bore you with details but i spent 13 years and two wives in there, the second wife married 7 years together only 2 the job was just to much and everything that came up i volunteered for. I wont say it was all roses. I have seen things that nobody should ever see or would want to. i would also go as far as to say there are things i have done for the army that I’m not proud off but that is what they paid me for,

i left the army in 97 and due to my skills was kept on service for a further 9 years but now i had no job and i needed something having just left my second wife who took every thing i had nothing except the clothes on my back, no body wanted my skills so i went into Truck driving this i enjoyed working on my own and being answerable just to myself, something i was used to. 

during this time i met  Paulette, people say that when you meet the right one you know, well there was no mistaking her and i love her more today than the day we met, she is my sole mate and best friend, there is no substitute, i have two fantastic kids who i would move heaven and earth for like every parent i worry every day about them. 

due to the time i was away driving i missed allot of personnel time so a job change was in order i bluffed my way into Worldcom and worked there for some years, until a friend asked me to help get his business up and running, i dropped everything and worked there for three years getting the business to a 10 million pound company, but i wanted something else

so came the move to UK Forces Networks a company i have started to help the forces around the world, this has now grown to the Police, Fire and Ambulance, so i hope that goes well, and if you need anything to do with communications drop me a line

as for hobbies i have a few

Climbing: military joint services rock climbing instructor most difficult climb Strawberry’s EVS B4 climb i couldn’t do it now and the grad has gone up

Riding: played POLO for the regiment and i still do some point to point

Parachuting:CAT8 jumper squares and conicals but down in Devon the weather kills it more than diving

Diving:diving for some years until forced to do a proper course and get some kind of ticket did alot of gravel pit dives in a compressor and gas hose looking for fishing kit stupid now i look back on it, but fun at the time

i have true friends that i could count on my fingers and shit loads of mates, due to the way i am i look after my friends and would do anything for them, same as my family who are the most precious thing in my life. i am passionate about my ideals and don’t suffer fools, 

i belive in the truth and Honor and my word is never broken, i expect people to treat me the same as i was to treat them, I’ll help anyone just ask, if i can help i will, if you do see me on a boat and I’m normally with Gary if not I’m SOLO say hello i don’t bite
