I grew up behind the Iron Curtain where I both witnessed and experienced many injustices. With the help of Amnesty International I managed to change over to the more colourful side of the wall. With my new found freedom I travelled extensively to many different countries, making numerous friends along the way.

In 1989  I became a father and moved with my family to Scotland where I have raised two wonderful children. Together we explored and discovered this beautiful country.  Over the years we have enjoyed many outdoor activities including, camping, walking, mountain biking, kayaking, snowboarding and many more.

I have worked with both physically and mentally challenged young people and adults and through this experience have discovered some of the best places and instructors for a wide range of outdoor activities across the North of Scotland.

I am living in a lovely traditional farm cottage situated in the countryside between Elgin and Forres,close to the Findhorn Foundation.  I drive a 9 seater minibus and am also the proud owner of a Teepee and 2 Canadian canoes.
