Chairman and Founder
I’m the founder and chairman of the charity.
It was my original intention to set up the charity and serve the needs of the MND community. I have always taken some element of comfort in helping to fulfil the goals of other people and by setting up the charity we have achieved this. We aim to become a national go-to charity.
It is our ambition to be recognised by the MND community and we have tried to achieve this by being a more personal caring charity.
I work in Capital management in the city for AIG. It has certainly been interesting over the years and has maintained a disciplined lifestyle which is important in terms of staving off any further deterioration. Being concerned with risk and regulatory capital models for EMEA, has meant that I am able to exercise an element of creativity in my work.
Outside of work I am very passionate about health and fitness and strive to optimise my health. MND was a major shock to myself but everyone who knew me. You never know what life has in store for you, but it is important to challenge yourself where you can.
I have represented Great Britain in decathlon and played rugby to National 1 level for a few clubs and at the same time I have been ranked in the top ten for indoor rowing on the Concept 2. It is vital to ensure you continue to push the boundaries, despite adversity and why I am often flogging my body, on bizarre challenges.
