Bridging the Gap. Building Relationships. Changing Perceptions. 18 years in the RAF. 18 years in France. I am a member of Aerocherche & ELMS. Volunteer with LPO Aude, and the OFB. Committee member of Itinéraires Liberté Pyrénées Europe. I always sought and thrived in multi-Nation, cross-service environments. From operations with the UNHCR to the very early days of the Defence Logistics Organisation, I have always wanted to face new challenges, to be thinking outside the box, to be progressive, part of a diverse, dynamic team. Indeed, my most satisfying job was outside the realm of logistics, in multi-nation airspace management. This diverse path was hugely rewarding if not following the usual, understood career path. Those same interests and principles have carried me far ever since. The forming of partnerships, relationship building is a fundamental part of my life in France. My two main strands, vulture conservation and escape line history are vastly different topics, yet both are firmly, and deeply connected to my other true passion, the Pyrenees. And to that of sharing, the attempt to inspire.
