After turning 15 Paul’s introduction to competition came with track racing at the UK Track Titles, road racing in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, Oxford shire and the extensive UK time trial scene.

After completing school and further education Paul joined the British Royal Navy and a very successful role as a Chief Aircraft Engineer.  Intensive team work with a Sea Harrier (jump jet) squadron and aircraft carrier adventures around the world. Even during his time in the navy Paul remained actively involved with cycling around the world, including success at an Inter Service 30 mile Time Trial Championship.

After migrating to Australia in 1988 Paul pursued a career as a cycling coach. Paul’s passion for cycling and natural coaching skillset culminated in Level 2 Coaching Accreditation at the Australian Institute of Sport in 1996.
Working with a squad of 25 cyclists and triathletes of both men and women aged between 18-65 years, this successful business, formed partnerships that brought success at local to International competition level including Elite UCI Road, World Masters Games and World Triathlon Championships.

During his time as a professional cycling coach Paul was fortunate to established a second cycling home in Europe.  Immersed in the world of professional bike racing on the international circuit, this included the good, the bad and also the ugly!
