As a former professional rugby union player with 15 years at the highest level, I bring a wealth of experience and insight to mentoring aspiring athletes. My career began at just 18 years old, representing Newcastle Falcons, Edinburgh Rugby, and Scotland, earning 23 international caps.

Beyond rugby, my youth was marked by competing in multiple sports at regional and national levels, including football, tennis, and squash, before focusing on rugby as my professional path.

Post-retirement, I have embraced a leadership role as the Director of Rugby and High Performance Sport at the High Schol of Dundee, a position I’ve held for the past nine years. In this role, I have developed and managed the school’s High-Performance Sport program, mentoring many athletes across a wide range of disciplines. My approach bridges the technical diversity of various sports with a singular focus on cultivating a high-performance mindset – a quality I firmly believe separates the good athletes from the great ones.
