Sean Greaves

A fan of fitness and adventure who has climbed Mount Kenya, Mount Kinanbalu, completed the Inca Trail and finished charity runs along the Florida Keys and on the Island of St Kitts. Sean competes at cross country and alpine skiing each year and has attended training camps in Norway for the last two years. Closer to home, he completed the London Marathon in 2001 for charity but found it a touch busy amongst 25 000 competitors. He now wishes to compete in a more selective marathon which involves his favourite surroundings, plenty of snow. When not training and keeping fit, Sean enjoys travelling, reading, gardening (due to its necessity) and pondering whether he will ever get his slowly rusting classic car through an MOT after being off the road for 11 years. Sean joined the Royal Navy aged sixteen as an apprentice and gained a HNC in Electronics on the completion of his training. During his career he served on board HMS Intrepid, HMS Birmingham and HMS Somerset and left the Royal Navy in 1996 after 11 years service. He then enrolled at Birmingham University to study Dentistry and graduated in 2001. Finding himself at a loose end and still trying to satisfy his adventurous side, he decided to join his brother in the British Army as a Dental Officer. Having not completely given up on education altogether, Sean gained Membership of the Faculty of General Dental Practice (Royal College of Surgeons) in 2005.
