I am a knight. I’m a bit of an adventurer…I’ve run dogsleds above the Arctic Circle, am an aerobatic and glider pilot, have a bareboat skippers certificate, taught scuba, am certified in underwater search and rescue, canoed a jungle river in Centra America, camped among lions in Africa, and have flown with a jet pack.
