About Me

I’m a guide and outdoor educator with experience leading expeditions in six continents. Since 2014, I’ve worked across a range of roles within the outdoor industry, including wilderness therapy, outdoor education, mountaineering instruction, backcountry ski guiding, and expedition leadership.

I was born and raised in the Highlands of Scotland and now live on the outskirts of Melbourne with my family. Before working in the outdoors, I trained and worked as a geologist.

Over the years I’ve been fortunate to spend time in some remarkable places and alongside wonderful people. Those experiences have shaped the way I approach expeditions today. I enjoy creating supportive environments where people can learn through experience, contribute in whatever way feels comfortable, and enjoy being part of a great group. My role is to provide support, structure, and experience, along with the occasional reminder to drink water.

Mountain Immersive grew from a desire to combine the things I value most about expeditions: community, learning, challenge, and the opportunity to spend meaningful time in wild places.

When I’m not leading trips, I’m being a dad, bouncing between too many home and garden projects, and making the most of the beautiful area where I live.
