Born in Birmingham in 1974, Lewis spent his formative years in Dorset and Somerset before moving back to the Midlands. He studied Journalism at Cardiff University and worked, amongst other things, as a Landscape Gardener and Underwriter before moving into his current role as a Business Analyst for Capstone Mortgage Services, a Lehman Brothers company.

He enjoys the outdoors, a passion which has taken him from treking across glaciers in Norway and climbing via-ferrata in the Dolomites to heli-boarding and snow shoeing on a back country week in the alps.

A keen footballer, triathlete and cyclist Lewis is looking forward to the challenge of husky sledding and igloo building in the Arctic and welcomes the opportunity to do so in support of three worthy causes.
