Biography:
Started judo with Walter Littlejohn at the Glasgow Judo Club many years ago. Life and family etc meant that I was away from the sport for many years, although I did make a few attempts to get involved again - all unsuccessful until my son and I got involved with pro judo. In the last 8 years I’ve gained my brown belt, passed level 2 coaching, volunteered as a scorekeeper at the commonwealth games and suffered multiple wee niggles. Judo people are wonderful and I have made some lifelong friends
Professional Life:
I’m a father of three, grandfather of two and still work in the IT business when not at classes or comps.
