Action sports presenter and commentator, travel writer and journalist, I’ve covered competition ice climbing, Red Bull races and skiing in Afghanistan, as well as written and filmed numerous adventures around the world. Below, a selection of recent assignments:

Red Bull Illume is the world’s greatest adventure and action sports imagery contest. Over six days I hosted a daily live show in which the winners were revealed. Red Bull X-Alps sees me running after athletes in the world’s toughest adventure race, broadcasting live every day during the two-week ‘hike & fly’ paragliding race across the Alps.
Travel Writing Highlights: Skiing in Afghanistan for the FT
Afghan powder: a uniquely challenging assignment but also inspiring, enlightening and deeply rewarding. I also shot all images and video. (The skiing wasn’t bad either!)

Red Bull TV - Insiders
“Here’s a GoPro, do your worst.” This self-filmed series for Red Bull saw me ski in a motorcross race, run a mountain marathon with a donkey in tow, take part in a human pyramid contest and compete in the world bog snorkelling championships. It was a lot of fun.
