I have been involved in triathlon since 1988, raced my first Ironman in 1991 and have been coaching since 1994, coaching professionally since 1997. During this time I have coached British national youth, junior, student, elite and age group medal winners.

I am the Uk's most experienced and knowledgeable 'Ironman' triathlon coach & athlete having competed in 39 Ironman races, qualifying myself for Kona 5 times, and have coached athletes to over 600 IM finishes. These have been from novice to elite and have included many Kona world championship qualifications.

From 2000 to 2011 I was the University of Birmingham’s Triathlon Head Coach where I built an elite level triathlon program from scratch, and from where I delivered ‘World Class’ Talent ID, Youth, Junior and development programs for British Triathlon. Among others coming through this programme were Jodie Stimpson and Non Stanford. I returned to the University of Birmingham in 2018.

Throughout my coaching career, whether turning complete beginners into triathlon regulars or working with talented elite athletes, I have had the ethos of long-term athlete development - building lasting and trusting relationships with my athletes.
