I am grateful for your time here.

I am a writer, life coach, and pilgrim guide whose life has been shaped by travel, transformation and resilience. Born and raised in Australia, I have lived and worked in London, Caracas, and Santiago de Chile. This brings a wide, cosmopolitan and culturally sensitive perspective to my work, along with fluency in Spanish and a passion for history, philosophy, and lifelong learning.

I founded Power of Pilgrimage, guiding people through mindful walking journeys such as the Camino de Santiago to facilitate personal growth. My coaching blends practical preparation with deeper reflection, helping individuals connect body, mind, and spirit. I am currently writing Power of Pilgrimage – Walking Back To Yourself, exploring humanity’s timeless urge to journey and renew – simply by walking.

Apart from a long corporate career, I founded an Australian gin company – Gintonica (sadly a COVID victim), authored a seminal book on the subject, and served as a one-time gin judge. A passion for wine inspired a science degree in Winemaking and Viticulture and for food produced a skilful Paella chef.

A father of three and partner to Michelle, I am also a romantic at heart, inspired by theatre, art, poetry and the enduring power of pilgrimage to reconnect us with ourselves and each other.
