Jeff is a mountaineer, ultra-runner, extreme sports enthusiast and businessman. Jeff grew up in a poverty-stricken household in North London. He has always had a passion for sport and from the age of 10 began to play ice hockey. He went on to have a successful twenty year career as a professional athlete playing in goal for Great Britain and winning the penalty shoot out with the Cardiff Devils in 1990.
After retiring from ice hockey, Jeff missed the adrenaline rush of competition and so decided to learn to freefall skydive and then became drawn to mountaineering. Jeff's journey to the top of the world started in 2010 when he climbed Kilimanjaro, and in the space of 7 years he worked tirelessly to train to be Everest ready.
In between his mountaineering expeditions, Jeff has also completed a multitude of world famous ultra marathons, including the toughest foot race on earth, the Marathon Des Sables.
Whilst embarking on these missions, Jeff has used his adventures to raise over £300,000 for various charities, and did a UK wide tour of schools, inspiring over 3000 children to work hard, follow their dreams and never give up.
