An avid outdoors man from a very young age, Matt was born and raised on the west coast of Scotland which sparked his curiosity from experiences exploring new undiscovered areas from mountainous Arran to uninhabited coastal islands and unkempt moors on his doorstep. Learning from each new experience sparked more desire to delve into the unknown which led Matt to join the British Army in June 1994.

A life of adventure and rapid learning unfolded with two, six-month tours in Bosnia, followed by tours in Macedonia, Kosovo, Sierra Leonne, Northern Ireland, Iraq and two, six-month tours in Afghanistan.

Following the birth of his children, and after 22 years of exhilarating service Matt decided to leave his military career as a Sergeant Major.

On leaving the services in 2014 Primal Adventures was formed to deliver authentic wilderness experiences and luxury events all over Scotland. So if you are thinking about coming to Scotland for an awesome time then get in touch with Matt and his team, you won't be disappointed.
