During 18 years of exemplary service in the British Army I have been employed in Operations Management and Communications, in UK, Germany, Canada and the Falkland Islands, in addition to having served as a Senior Non-commissioned Officer Helicopter Pilot. The training for these positions has been rigorous, the work environment at times high-risk, high-profile and frequently under great pressure. I have been pleased to find that my second career in the offshore exploration and production industry proved to have been equally as rewarding. I now concentrate on human-factors- event reporting and analysis platforms, and I look forward to continuing to gain experience, and to face ever greater challenges, in the future.
