Rescue Shrek's photostream

Well where do I start? If god could put an extra six hours on each day, I would find a way to fill it up and still want more. In late 1999 I came down to Southampton to further my education. After three long, painful years at the Southampton Institute( now called Solent University) I became an Outdoor Education Instructor and worked part time for Zapcat powerboat Racing as Surf Rescue Boat Cox/Rescue Swimmer. While doing all of this I changed Lifeboat stations from Helensburgh, in Scotland to Calshot on the Solent as a Helmsman. Eventually I bought a house and started taking on more responsibilities...and activates like Volunteer Rescue Access Technician for Technical Rescue Unit and a volunteer First Responder for Hampshire Ambulance Service to keep me busy. For the last five years I have worked for the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) as a Sea Survival and Inshore Lifeboat Trainer and the last three years I changed Volunteer Lifeboat Station to Chiswick on the Thames, London, and also took on the volunteer role as Search Technician and Team Medic for Dorset Search and Rescue Unit (DorSAR). Over and above that I'm a diver, climber, off-road driver, Photographer, Husband and proud Father, and a few others that I don't want to bore you with. So feel free to have a gander at my Images and post a comment or drop me some mail if you want to know more about anything you find.
Laters Dudes!

"Chris define's the modern action guy doesn't he? I mean look at all the stuff he gets up to, mucking around with helicopters, owning his own rescue jeep; he makes all our lives look positively dull. Well, I mean my life is dull anyway...... you know what I mean.
He's also a top bloke, loyal and upstanding and as good a friend as you could ever ask for."23rd September, 2005
