Hobbies and Interests

  • The way of Genghis Khan - During the summer of 2015, my friend and I cycled over 2000 miles from Mongolia into Kazakhstan to retrace one of Genghis Khan's longest invasion routes. During the process of the trip we raised over £3000 for the charity Mary's Meals. This trip fostered a love of cycling and exploration that I continue persue to this day with regular bikepacking trips in the calender.
  • I also developed a passion for surfing when working at Ocean Pitch and on many weekends I will be found chasing waves in the north east of England.
