Jamie is currently employed at Lagoona Park Jetski Centre in Reading where he is a RYA PWC Trained Instructor (the youngest in the country) and teaches young and old alike to ride their personal watercraft safely and proficiently.
He is also a budding actor and was a member of the Starmaker Theatre School based in Reading (the same theatre school attended by Kate Winslet). He has recently appeared in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and a short film called “Plenty of Spoons” which is being put forward for a Bafta. His main ambition is to be a Comedy Actor wishing to follow in the footsteps of Mike Myers (Austin Powers) or Jim Carey.
Jamie has always enjoyed jetskiing and with parents owning a Jetski Centre enjoys the ability to master the jetski. Primarily his main love was freestyling (performing tricks on the ski) - as it gave him the ability to act on the water.
Jamie was also invited to compete in the Corona European Championships. He was recommended by the British Race Director as being good enough to compete and finished a very good 8th Overall in Europe by taking part in onlythree of the five rounds, which is a brilliant achievement in only his first year ofracing.
He also finished 2nd overall in the British Summer Championship 2006 afterwinning the majority of his races. The championship rested on the last race of the season whereby Jamie had to win both his motos and his competitor Josh Harvey had to finish fourth in both for Jamie to take the title, but Josh finished Forth in his first moto and third in the second, therefore snatching the title by a few points.
