Dougal James de la Bruyere Paterson

It's my life as a big wave surfer with its mix of near death experiences, friendship, physical training and exploration, that has equipped me to work with other athletes. My traditional family values provide the bedrock accountability for my various forms of raconteuring. I recently co-directed a documentary on great white sharks for National Geographic (which blew my mind!) Since my first job with Emirates in 2007, I have gotten to work for many other great airlines. I now consider myself to be a specialist in the field.

My life goal is to raise noble, steadfast daughters and keep my promise to love my wife till death do us part.
