It's unresolved conflict in my life that I have a lovely family and a risky job.

I've had so many injuries in my life that it's ridiculous.

All my life the only thing I've been good at has been climbing and throwing myself off big things.

For me, my training is a key part of my work as so often my life has depended on being able to move fast and haul myself up and out of something fast!

The special forces gave me the self-confidence to do some extraordinary things in my life. Climbing Everest then cemented my belief in myself.

My faith is an important part of my life and over the years I've learnt that it takes a proud man to say he doesn't need anything. It has been a quiet strength and a backbone through a lot of difficult times.
