I did 5 year’s service with the 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment in Colchester and got both my British and German parachute qualifications. I parachuted into Arnhem, Holland for the anniversary with various different Paratroopers from all over the world. Sadly I lost my brother in Afghanistan in 2008 to a suicide bomb. I left the Army in 2014 and re-joined in 2017 as a Combat Medic Technician so that I can gain knowledge in the medical environment and help people in the future. When leaving regular service I went on to get my close protection licence in which I’ve been doing since I started MPCT for the last 3 years.

The reason I started MPCT is to help young individuals achieve their goals and share my knowledge from my career.
