He was twice the World Caber Tossing champion and, later, managing director of a business with a multi-million pound turnover. He was presented to the Queen for his heavyweight exploits at Braemar Games and was a guest at Arnold Schwarzenegger’s birthday party at Planet Hollywood in Piccadilly Circus, London.
