I started curling at the age of 10.
Mum, Dad, brother (Stuart) sister (Jan who won Scottish Ladies’ title once) all curled.
I played third in juniors and mens with my brother until he was too old to play juniors I skipped. Joined David Murdoch’s rink in 2001 as a fifth player but ended up playing every competition as one team member had too many work comitiments.
