Founder and CEO

Elite Squash UAE

After training with renowned squash player and Coach Hadrian Stiff, Elite Squash Head Coach and I decided to use his knowledge and passion to promote the game of squash in his hometown of Dubai, UAE. 

Founded in 2015, Elite Squash UAE is committed to building a vibrant squash community by providing exciting and cutting edge training, coaching, tournaments, leagues, and events.

Our approach is grounded in the belief that squash is not only a dynamic and exciting sport, but is ultimately a powerful way to achieve greatness in all areas of life. In particular, we believe that squash empowers people:

Spiritually — squash teaches players how to recognize, trust, and develop their unique innate skills and abilities.

Emotionally — squash provides a sense of emotional well-being by allowing players to create meaningful connections with others through teamwork and healthy competition.

Mentally — squash forces players to become mentally sharp and self-aware.

Physically — squash pushes players to achieve and maintain a high level of physical fitness and activity.

Elite Squash UAE is dedicated to providing highly specialized and finely tailored instruction, coaching, and competition in order to help players gain the skills needed for success both on and off the court.

Salomon Wadi Bih Run 2014

Held every year since 1993 the Wadi Bih Run is one of the oldest, annual expatriate sporting events in the UAE / Oman region

The run is for teams of 5 runners, with each runner completing about 15km to give a total distance of 72 km. Each team of five includes at least one female runner.

Hardy individuals can run the entire distance solo or do a shortened route (approximate distance will be a minimum of 50km) called solo canyon. 

The route for the run follows asphalt roads and graded gravel tracks through the spectacular Hajar mountains and is an uplifting (literally about 1000m of ascent & descent!) therapeutic experience to escape the urban mayhem of the modern UAE. The run starts and finishes in Dibba, Oman.

Duties involved securing and managing sponsorship for the run and carrying out administrative work.

Junior Quantity Surveyor

After investing 4 years and $500k on world class mentors to grow our consultancy to $5M+....

Here is the fundamental truth I've discovered.

The only things stopping us from being the person we want to be is our beliefs, disciplines, skills and personality traits. 

In simpler terms our thoughts, physical results, actions and feelings. 

The best thinkers think for themselves and spend time by themselves.

Those best at achieving results are accumulating results all the time as proof and evidence of who they are.

The best doers conserve energy when doing things. Think of Roger Federer playing tennis and barely breaking a sweat vs a complete beginner looking clumsy on the court and wasting energy.

And the best at mastering their feelings are always loving, accepting and approving of others, especially themselves

So....
