Athletic Career
Having lived in several different countries across three continents growing up, I played a variety of sports. I played varsity volleyball, tennis, and soccer in college, and also became a second blue belt in kick boxing. In graduate school in Wales I took up the javelin, won the North Wales Championship, and qualified for the Welsh National Championship.
An injury in 2003 severely limited my sports participation, but in 2006 I discovered racquetball, which has been my primary sport since. I have represented England in three Racquetball World Championships, and am a three-time gold medalist at the Senior Racquetball World Championships.

Coaching & Sports Administration Career
I have coached numerous sports, but currently specialize in racquetball, where I am an Am-Pro certified coach qualified to train international coaches. Since 2010, I have officiated at international racquetball tournaments, and now work as an analyst for professional tour and international racquetball broadcasts.
I have several years of experience working as a media and marketing consultant for several sports organizations, and I have served as an anti-doping administrator for an international federation.
