He has lead many of the winter skills training packages, led 5 international expeditions (Kilimanjaro, Everest Base Camp) and has been involved in European middle mountain guiding trips and UK mountain trips. Jaz is a former Royal Marine from 45 Commando.

Since 2001 he has become an International Mountain Leader, Winter Mountain Leader, Advanced Mountain Bike Leader and a Rock Climbing Instructor. He is currently working through the UK’s rigorous Mountaineering Instructor award scheme. Jaz has an infectious passion for all things mountainous, whether it’s snowing, raining or a lovely sunny day, Jaz will lead you through the mountains under a serious watchful eye but a witty tongue. When not working, Jaz can be found ski touring in the Alps, white water rafting or relaxing at home in the Peak District.
