Where in Scotland are you from? I am from the Black Isle, just north of Inverness. However, I live and work in Aberdeen.
What discipline(s) do you shoot and who are your coaches? I have shot Automatic Ball Trap (ABT) for the last four years, before switching to Olympic Trap in 2019 coached by Marco Micheli.
How did you get involved in the sport and what was your shooting journey to get on to the performance programme? I started competitive clay pigeon shooting in 2014 and shot ABT for the next four years. In 2018 I shot the Algarve Olympic Trap Grand Prix while on holiday in Portugal. This gave me a desire to shoot Olympic Trap on a more regular basis, prompting the switch in focus from ABT to Olympic Trap in 2019.
Where you do your shooting? I travel all over the UK to competitions, however my local ground is Auchterhouse Country Sports near Dundee.
What are your hopes and plans for the future in terms of your shooting career? The immediate target is to become competitive, being a relative newcomer to the discipline. The removal of shooting from the Birmingham 2022 programme is a blow, but the target remains to shoot for Scotland at international level.
Any other interesting non-shooting related fact about yourself that you would like to mention? I would like to say I have plenty of other interesting hobbies to talk about – but all my time is spent shooting! I have a degree in Chemical Engineering and work in the Oil & Gas Industry.
