Simon began working on his outdoor skills in his late teens. Growing up in his native England he started hiking but realized he was moving too fast to enjoy nature.

Simon graduated University and began traveling the world, learning about the indigenous people's and their skills as he went. In particular Australia and New Zealand offered rich learning experiences.

Upon returning from his trip Simon became a member of the National Federation of Spiritual Healers and started his journey into the spiritual realms. In 2005 he attended the Tracker School and saw that the physical skills of survival and his previous spiritual practices could be fused together.

Simon became an Intern at the Tracker School before becoming the Program Director at The Children of the Earth Foundation.

Now living in the U.S. Simon is dedicated to bringing these skills to children that they may deepen their connection with the Earth.
