Stuart began his career in outdoor education in 1995 as a trainee on the Hawkesbury River.

Since then he has worked for a number of outdoor education companies and schools as a guide, and later as a qualified secondary school teacher.

His company All Aid First Aid was established with the ideal of offering first aid training that was both effective and fun for all people in all environments, with a particular focus on the provision of remote area and wilderness first aid training programs from two through to six days in length.

Stuart's passions are hiking, mountain bike riding and kayaking.

Stuart was a presenter at the 2007 ORIC Conference speaking on "The benefits of adding emergency response scenarios into an outdoor education program." This session was a hands-on, roll up your sleeves style. Participants were involved in a mock emergency situation, learning how effective and easy it is to incorporate this style of training into their organisational training. Stuart facilitated first aid training in Trauma Management and provided tools, techniques and ideas to stage mock scenarios.
