The short version

One life.
Three worlds.

From Scotland to the world’s offshore frontiers, and eventually to a family home in Thailand – this is a life measured in people, places, and stories rather than job titles.

Placeholder text. This opening belongs in Jimi’s own voice.

The offshore years

Built where land
disappears.

Decades in oil and gas meant more than an occupation. It meant working under pressure, solving practical problems, earning trust, and learning from crews drawn from every corner of the world.

A lifelong loyalty

Green runs
deeper.

“Celtic isn’t simply a team you support. It is part of who you are, wherever in the world you happen to be.”

Placeholder wording, awaiting Jimi’s own.

A dedicated area for match memories, favourite players, trips to Celtic Park, treasured shirts, and the family traditions built around the club.

The best chapter

A quieter horizon.
A fuller life.

Retirement did not close the story. It gave it a new setting: Thailand, family life, warm seas, familiar rituals, and time to appreciate the distance travelled.
