I've been watching motorsport from a young age, and became interested in rallying when my brother was watching the WRC on tv. 2001 saw my first rally spectating, the Network Q Rally GB, which I have visited every year since.

My first chance at competing came in 2004 when I navigated for friend Pete Jagger on the first Lombard Revival Rally, a good result encouraged me to try some more events and in early 2005 I joined the Ilkley & District Motor Club.

From there I competed in many club events in 2005, further road rallies as well as some historic events. I won the Under 23 Navigational Award and a respectable 1st in class on a challenging road rally.

2006 saw me contesting the BTRDA XSpec 1400 championship with young Scot David Bogie, a testing year culminated in victory on the final round, ensuring 2nd in class in the championship.

I was also one of 3 co-drivers to be selected for the inaugral MSA British Rally Academy, a fantastic oppurtunity to work with the former world champion co-drivers Robert Reid and Phil Mills.

My other hobbies include skiing, mountain biking and web design, I'm also studying Surveying & Mapping Science, a branch of Geomatics, at Newcastle University.
