Summary

You may know Staz as a DS from SAS: Who Dares Wins, the Channel 4 hit series.

But none of what you see on that show comes close to what Staz has experienced in his long, and decorated career.

He has stormed compounds, come under heavy enemy fire on a daily basis, and cleared buildings single handedly.

He’s spent 10 years in the special forces, and 3 years as a chief sniper instructor and demolitions expert.

He was awarded the Afghanistan campaign medal, Queen’s diamond jubilee medal and the illustrious Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.

He is a real life hero!

Staz has a unique ability to describe the thoughts, feelings and acts of war, and has returned to civilian life as a successful entrepreneur with a fantastic business.
