Andy loves adventure. He skis, climbs, sails, and learns whatever other skills might be necessary to explore wherever he is. He was a Commando with the Royal Marines for seven years and currently works as an Industrial Abseiler (IRATA Level 3), and skipper (RYA Yachtmaster and NZ Maritime Inshore LaunchMaster). He has worked in a range of abseiling. mountaineering, sailing, and guiding, capacities in the Middle East, Antarctica, South Georgia, Patagonia, New Zealand sub-Antarctic Islands, Australia, and the UK. He speaks pretty good Spanish and Arabic, can get by in French and German, and is fluent in English.

Most happiest mucking about in boats, half way up a mountain, or telling stories.
