Keirron began kayaking with the Sea Scouts in Peel and with family friends at Ny Arbyll, both locations on the West coast of the Isle of Man, at the age of 10, also practicing on a calm stretch of river near his house. He started seriously paddling In North Wales in 1999, as a student studying Adventure Tourism Management. Paddling dominated his study and free time where he gained a lot of experience in the tidal races around Anglesey. Keirron then stayed on and worked full time kayaking and many other outdoor sports, for a further two years. He has paddled solo, totally unsupported, from Anglesey to the Isle of Man (the length students will go to just to save the ferry fare for a weekend at home). He is the youngest person to make the open crossing of 60 land miles, the second time through the night, where sea fog pushed his navigational skills to their max (entertaining video footage does exist of the delirious state of mind this can cause).

Keirron has coached kayaking in Scotland, Norway, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Israel and Finland.

His 5* sea training included the first known successful crossing of the Gibraltar Straits by kayak, from Gibraltar to the Spanish owned tip of Morocco, led by Nigel Dennis, returning to Spain by ferry, then made the crossing back to Gibraltar in a force 7, tracked by Interpol. He has led and assisted leading groups on expeditions in sea kayaks, canoes and mountain walking around Anglesey and the North coast of Wales, the Isle of Man, Norway, Ontario and Vancouver Island.

Keirron is very passionate about running a top adventure business in the Isle of Man plus organising the annual Isle of Man Adventure Week, of which the Sea Kayak Symposium forms a large part. Keirron firmly believes in using high quality kit and strives to give as low a student / coach ratio as possible (that way everyone gets shouted at an equal amount!). Keirron's other interests include expeditioning of any description, mountain walking, rock climbing, camping, surfing, coasteering, woodturning, photography and judo. He is easily impressed by clients that bring along cake (especially home made delicacies) and hot chocolate on winter trips.

In May 2007 with partner Jeff Norville (US), Keirron circumnavigated Vancouver Island in a Sea Kayaking UK Triton double kayak. They completed the 700 mile journey in just 19 and a half days (the previous record was 28 days in a single kayak). Keirron and Jeff also raised over £1000 for Breast Cancer Awareness in the process, a theme provoked by close friend Ginny Callahan and her recent battle with the cancer.
