As a Military Veteran my goal in life was always to just to try and exist. I grew up with an impoverished life in the old coal mining era in the North East of England, before joining the military a year before the first Gulf War. After the Gulf War ended I finished my service and eventually went back to school working my way through GCSEs and then onto an HND and a Bachelor’s Degree in Business.Â
My working career has allowed me to travel the world working in London, Dubai, Qatar, Asia and the US within Human Resources for international companies such as Nissan, AirSwift, Grafton Recruitment and also giving me the the opportunity to start my own company pursuing my own passion, helping others.
i eventually settled in the USA and adopted two children. After spending 10 years in Texas, our family moved back to the UK where I studied for an internationally recognised Life Coaching Diploma as I believe my life experience can help others. This is why I set up Think Forward Life Coaching. As a veteran I am perfectly placed to help other veterans as they transition life from being in the military to being an everyday civilian.Â
My background in education also allows me a unique opportunity to help teachers and students navigate the very tough day to day pressures of education, helping them make the decisions that help determine their own paths going forward.
