My Journey

I served more than 30 years in the British Army, starting my career with The Black Watch before transferring to the Royal Army Medical Corps. I made that move because I wanted to do more than fight. I wanted to help, to mend, to heal, and to listen. Those simple things sit at the heart of who we are. As a Combat Medical Technician, I worked on the front line, treating the wounded and supporting those who carried the weight beside me. After leaving the Regular Army, I stayed on with the Army Reserves until 2023. My son now follows in my footsteps, serving in the Royal Engineers as a Plant Operator and Physical Training Instructor.
