Occupation

Carpenter & Joinery manufacturer.

Experience

Having come within a whisker of getting the outright world land speed record, for a motorcycle back in 1999 with Richard “Rocketman” Brown at Bonneville the chance of getting to join another team to get a crack at the record was too good a chance to let it go.

I have been involved with Don Wales and his Bluebird Electric Car

I am also assisting Richard”Rocketman” Brown with the testing of his current project, a personnel Jetpack

With a smile on my face my most noticeable achievement would be a piece of my 2×1 softwood mounted inside of the unused centre nozzle of Richard “Rocketman” Brown’s Gillette Mach 3 motorcycle with a camera attached to it obtaining a peak speed of over 360 mph.

Personal note

I am 51 year old and would like to say that the other love in my life apart from speed record breaking is my wife Joanne.
