About

My story began on the streets of Tunbridge Wells, England, where I spent countless hours on roller skates with a hockey stick in my hands. That passion eventually took me far beyond my hometown, playing inline hockey across Europe, Canada and the United States.

I returned to the UK in 1998, but struggled to adapt. I'd spent the last 18 months playing on larger North American rinks with a puck, and suddenly I was back on smaller rinks playing with a ball. The game felt completely different.

So I decided to make the transition to ice hockey. I was fortunate to earn the opportunity to play for the London Racers in the English Premier League. Once again, I found myself starting from scratch—learning new skills, making mistakes and embracing the challenge of becoming a beginner all over again.

But years of pushing my body came at a cost. Chronic inflammation, recurring gout and a diagnosis of hip arthritis eventually forced me to step away from the sport I loved. I believed my playing days were over.

Rather than walking away from hockey completely, I redirected my passion into coaching. I became Head Coach of the Great Britain Men’s Inline Hockey Team and helped lead the programme to its highest-ever level, earning promotion to the top division of the IIHF World Championships.

During that time, I began exploring ancestral health, primal nutrition and evolutionary approaches to movement and recovery. As I changed the way I ate, trained and lived, something unexpected happened. The chronic pain that had defined much of my adult life began to subside.

I started to realise that many of the problems I had accepted as part of ageing were, in fact, connected to the way I was living.

As my health improved, I made an unlikely return to competitive hockey. I represented Great Britain at the 2014 World Championships and rediscovered the joy of competing.

More than a decade later, after moving to Prague in 2019 with my wife and three children, I earned the opportunity to represent the Czech Republic in the 45+ division at the 2026 World Championships. We went on to defeat Canada in the final and become World Champions.

For me, the gold medal was not simply a sporting achievement. It was proof that the body can recover, adapt and perform at a high level later in life.

I had once been forced to quit hockey because of chronic inflammation and gout. Now I had returned to the top of the world, not by chasing youth, but by changing the way I ate, trained, recovered and lived.

I share that journey to help other hockey players and active adults stay strong, move well and continue playing the sports they love for decades longer.

Today, I help adult hockey players play better, for longer.

Everything I teach is built around three simple pillars:

🖤 Longevity
Build a body that keeps you on the ice.

🧠 Mindset
Play with confidence and freedom.

🏒 Skills
Keep improving, whatever your age.

I believe getting older doesn't mean giving up the sport you love.

It means becoming smarter about how you play, train and recover.

Today, I live in Prague, where I play, coach and host international hockey camps for adult players from around the world.

I also offer 1:1 coaching online.

I'd love to help you continue enjoying hockey for decades to come.
