John lives in West Dorset having moved from his
native Warrington in 1994. The relocation to his favourite
part of the country fulfilled a long held ambition. He commenced
a
highly successful commercial finance business in 1984, and
when it merged with a public company in 1990 he became their Northern
Sales Director. His hobby has always been sport – circuit
training, skiing and squash; and he embarked on a quest to
test himself to the full. He has:
- Completed five full marathons
- Ridden the infamous Cresta
Run in St Moritz nine times
- Enjoyed the Olympic course
with the Swiss Bobsleigh team
- Parachuted
- Free-climbed dangerous structures.
He has suffered some shocking injuries and understands what
it means to experience pain and rehabilitation. In 1996 he was
clinically diagnosed with MS and was able to overcome the disease
through correct nutrition, supplementation, healing, and alternative
training.
His current training consists of weightlifting (he competed in the British Natural Bodybuilding Federation Southern Qualifiers in June 2006); mountain biking in the hills near his home and in
the quarries of Portland; and Wing Chun Kung Fu. He also enjoys
the softer practices of Pilates, yoga, and meditation.
