My Wife

Kathryn & I were married at St Marys Church, Easton Neston in September 2006. For our honeymoon we travelled all the way around the world visiting Hong Kong, Australia (Cairns, Ulhuru, & Sydney), French Polynesia (Tahiti & Moorea) and changing planes in LA on the way home.

Our Son

Adam was born in December 2007, two days after my birthday. He is a lively, strong, happy lad who likes to wake up far too early.

My Daughter

Rebecca was born in June 1993 and is scarily nearly "all grown up". She likes Avril Lavigne and Busted (who we've seen in concert).

My involvement with the Scouts

Click me!

I joined 72nd Reading Cub Scouts when I was 9 years old after leaving the Woodcraft Folk. I moved on to the Sea Scouts at 10½ and then started a new Venture Scout Unit with Mark Smith and Andrew Thompson at 15½. At 18 I became an Instructor for the Scouts and on leaving the Ventures at 20 became an Assistant Scout Leader (ASL).

Outdoor Activities

Canoeing

Caving

Climbing

Walking

As you can see I enjoy a variety of outdoor pursuits. Many of these are done with the Scouts but I also do a fair bit on my own and with friends. You can't beat being in the outdoors. Um, except for being underneath it! :)
