I have been the Head of Rugby at Lord Wandsworth College for 4 years and have been involved in coaching rugby for 11 years. My playing career has taken me to all corners of the globe and I am very excited to be part of the HSRFU committee as Chair and a member of the England Schools RFU. I am also a Coach developer for the RFU which gets me out in the county coaching other coaches and teachers to develop the game. I first started playing rugby at prep school aged 10 and I am currently playing my rugby at Alton Rugby club for the 1st XV.
