We move through the world assuming we are sharing the same experience. We sit in the same meetings, hear the same words, look at the same numbers, walk through the same doors. It feels logical to assume that what is obvious to us is obvious to everyone else. But it isn’t. Two people can stand in the same room and live two completely different moments. One hears challenge, another hears criticism. One sees opportunity, another sees uncertainty. One feels energy, another feels pressure. The environment hasn’t changed. The interpretation has. And interpretation shapes our reactions far more than most of us realise. Every human being experiences life through their senses. We see, hear, taste, smell and touch the world around us.

With a competitive sporting background, I played professional rugby from the age of 18, with a major highlight being my participation in the 2009 IRB Rugby Sevens World Cup. Retiring from the game in 2010, I moved to CrossFit and endurance challenges which I still take part in and love.
I believe that developing mental strength through physical challenges is one of the keys to a successful life and have multiple challenges and ultramarathons to my name. My experiences in these challenges and my near death experience have helped me coach numerous people to achieve their goals. From athletes wanting to run 1 mile or complete an ultra endurance event, to CEO’s setting workplace or leadership ambitions, to anyone seeking their life’s purpose and desires.
Prior to establishing my first business InnerFight, I spent 10 years in the sporting goods industry, with over five years as a sales director at market leader, Adidas and my final year at Nike.
Hire Me To Speak
“Motivational”, “thought provoking”, “inspirational”, “forward thinking” are some words that my audiences have used to describe my talks.
From 50 people to 500 people, from kids to adults, I have had the privilege of speaking and motivating audiences around the world with a simple vision of making their lives better through sharing my experiences, my take on life and how I looked death in the face and decided to live.
My TED Talk is short and powerful bringing together the 9 months from when I nearly lost my life to running 30 marathons in 30 days.
At schools I inspire children to live, something I think we often forget to do.
In December 2018 I shared my “30 Marathons in 30 Days” experience with a sell out audience at InnerFight’s “InnerTalks”
“Lessons From The Desert” gained me international respect as I shared my lessons from 2 years of running over 2,000km across some of the worlds most brutal deserts.
