In 1980, just before my 15th birthday I was at Loughor boating club helping friends work on their boat when the Irb had a call to search for a father and son who had gone missing whilst fishing on the estuary. This was my first call and unfortunately it didn’t end well. Since then I have been an active member of the crew. I have seen many crew come and go but the constant is that the crew have one goal, to help anyone in need on or near the water, no matter who, we are there to assist. It’s not about individual personalities, its about helping, whether it be making someone safe or sadly recovering a body to enable a family to have closure, we as a team work for an ultimate goal. We go into schools and local event to help educate children about being safe on and around the sea and hopefully make a difference.
Hobbies
My hobbies are cycling, walking, swimming, water sports and boating. Basically, outdoor life!
