Born in Glasgow, I now live in Paris with my wife and three girls. A former professional footballer for Motherwell FC, I had a life changing opportunity to pursue a soccer scholarship in NY and studied at Adelphi University on Long Island, NY. Living in Paris for the last 18 years, I created Edusport Academy in 2011, combining sport, education and travel. The aim of the project was to offer young French footballers a life learning experience in Scotland through their passion of sport.
I am also the owner of Caledonian Braves FC, Scotland’s youngest senior football club, playing in the Scottish Lowland League. We are in the process of creating a global ownership community that will see like minded fans from around the world influence the strategy of the club via our bespoke app.
In 2017 I obtained my Master in International Sports Management from the Johan Cruyff Institute. I m also a UEFA qualified coach and sit on the Scottish Lowland League Board as Vice Chairman.
