I'm John, I have been working in the emergency services for over 20 years, including military, fire & rescue and prehospital EMS. Combined with my love of the outdoors I have been fortunate to work and explore in India, Nepal, UAE, Oman, Tanzania, Australia and Europe to seek out adventure.
Now I combine my passion with my profession by using my skills to assist others achieve their adventures safely. I am a qualified mountain leader, an expedition leader, wilderness medic and safety professional with experience gained at high altitude, desert and in the urban jungle.
I am a registered Advanced Paramedic, with recent clinical exposure to critical care patient retrievals.
I hold the UIAA Diploma in Mountain Medicine and I am a member of the Wilderness Medical Society.
As a qualified Mountain Leader I guide groups in the mountains of Ireland and internationally. I regularly undertake my own trips to Scotland, the Alps and further afield to improve my skills
To compliment my skills I am a technical member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (TechIOSH) and a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society (FRGS).
