World Record - Father & Son Pacific Ocean Row
Tim CrockettMeet Tim, a remarkable individual whose robust military background has equipped him with the resilience and skills needed to conquer the challenges of ocean rowing. Hailing from Hereford, England, Tim now calls Atlanta, USA, his home. His journey began in 1990 when he joined the Royal Marine Commandos, a path that led him through icy Arctic deployments and active service during the first Gulf War.
Tim's unwavering determination eventually led him to the pinnacle of his service, becoming a distinguished member of the Special Boat Service (SBS). This role often immersed him in aquatic environments, where he spent much of his adult life either submerged beneath the waves or navigating the water's surface. After his tenure with the SBS, Tim transitioned into a diverse career, providing vital support, training, and advisory services to private clients worldwide. Many of these clients operating in challenging and hostile environments, relying on Tim's expertise to help them navigate risk and uncertainty. Amidst his professional pursuits, Tim remains deeply committed to the military community that has shaped his identity. This journey of giving back is an ongoing testament to the values instilled in him by his military experiences. |
