I joined the armed forces at 18 years old and initially lived in Germany for 3 years, followed by a further 3 years in Cyprus before retuning to the UK for my final 2 years of service.

I completed tours with the United Nations as well as two tours of Afghanistan with the Royal Marines Commandos and 2PWRR.

Once I left the British army I started a career in electrical wholesale and quickly rose from a warehouse assistant to opening a branch in Colchester and becoming business manager all within 4 years. 

I rejoined the British Army for a further 3 years at the age of 34 to join the Queens Royal Hussars (Tank Regiment) before leaving and Joining Circles in the December of 2024.

I have previously worked with children as a football coach for my local team and enjoy the challenges that each day brings. The circles family is amazing and have allowed me to develop and grow at my own pace, finding my feet and a role which is suitable to my skills.
