Biography
Leadership, motivation, performance, I'm passionate about getting the very best out of people and my expertise is continually put to the test at Ice Warrior. These are novices from all walks of life and echelons of society training to achieve something quite extraordinary. Extraordinarily testing both physically and mentally but also purposeful and worthwhile.
Having started my working life as an Environmental Research Scientist and having spent 28 years exploring the most remote regions on Earth I'm wholly motivated to deliver the reality of global climate change to ordinary people in a way we can all understand and in an effort to get everyone to appreciate their own environment, perhaps a little better.
Recent TV productions include BBC Frozen Planet, BBC Human Planet, BBC Last Explorers.
