How long have you been working in the army? What have you learned from this experience?
My military background was serving in the 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment, RAF Infantry reserves and the Royal Fusilliers, total regular and reserve service 8 years. I found that the army gave me the discipline to succeed. I have a training team consisting of a sports therapist, martial arts instructors and strength athletes, they push me hard in the gym and when we are training in the hills.
And now, what’s your next challenge? A new record?
My next official World Record will hopefully be to represent Great Britain at the World Record Challenge Cup starting on the 1 August to the 10th August, I hope to attempt the record in the USA this all depends on sponsors, one of the record will be the most back of hands push ups in 1 minute carrying 40 lb back pack.
Sharing this adventure is important; could you tell us a bit more about your website and why you’ve chosen Easily?
I decided to build my own web site to share my experiences and pass on my knowledge. Easily.co.uk have promoted my web site and have always found them the be very supportive when I have any technical issues.
What message or advice would you give to our readers?
My message to all readers stay positive, if you put your mind to a challenge, believe that you will succeed. I have always been humble and respectful to all who I have met, and have always treated people equally.
Thank you very much Paddy, we wish you all the best in your coming projects.
