Meet the team
A brief introduction to the four men crazy enough to be taking on this monumentous expedition.
Jack Jarvis
Jack was born in 1993 in Watford, before moving to Southampton at the age of two.
After joining the British Army at 16 years old, he immediately volunteered for the All Arms Commando Course. On successful completion, he spent the next seven years of his career within 59 Commando Squadron, giving him a wealth of experience in risk management and operating in high stress situations.
Jack is an endurance and survival specialist with a World Record. He spent 12 years in the Army and achieved the remarkable feat of being the first person to row solo and unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to North America in 111 days, covering 4630 miles across 111 days in one of the world’s most unforgiving environments. Jack was a finalist for the Pride of Britain award for this achievement.
After making a full recovery from a Skydiving Accident in 2023, Jack is raring to push his limits even further in taking on the North Atlantic Ocean.
Adam Radcliffe
Adam grew up in Watford, as an avid sportsman, where his love for physical challenges and competition was born. He went on to study Mechanical Engineering in 2015 followed by three years of Corporate Operations Management. Facing a life of quiet dissatisfaction and borderline depression, while on the cusp of turning 25 he decided to completely change trajectory, and hasn’t looked back since.
He’s spent the last two years pursuing and documenting increasingly challenging adventures across all corners of the globe, providing top-notch entertainment, technical advice and mental resilience insights to his rapidly growing audience of hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
Now working as a full time Adventurer and Personal Coach. He has Scuba Dived in some of the best sites in the world, scaled multiple 4000m+ Mountains and completed numerous multi day expeditions in far reaching corners of the globe.
He’s always on the hunt to push his mental and physical limits in order to continually improve and positively impact as many peoples lives as possible. Next on the list… a treacherous North Atlantic Crossing.
David ‘Brucey’ Bruce
Brucey grew up in Yorkshire, where he competed for York City rowing club and first fell in love with racing on the water.
He then joined the Royal Marines in 2013 at 40 commando. With C company he completed a cold weather warfare course in the arctic and a heavy weapons course before moving to a specialist maritime operations unit.
He immediately fell for marathon style kayaking, completing numerous, 125-mile continuous Devizes to Westminster kayak marathons which led to competing on an international stage, notably placing third on the epic 444-mile Yukon River quest in just under 68 hours with Army veteran Neil Marshall.
This triggered his involvement in ocean rowing where he rowed across the North Sea before skippering the 2020 Mission Atlantic rowing crossing with Team Cockleshell Endeavour. Throughout he has raised over £30,000 for the Royal Marines Charity, a charity very close to his heart.
He then worked for the British Antarctic Survey, leading and advising on Royal Navy and British Antarctic Survey science expeditions in the Antarctic and South Atlantic.
Having left the military 18 months ago Brucey is doing close protection and executive coaching across the globe whilst looking forward to doing something exiting and worthwhile on the water.
Sam ‘Nutty’ Edwards
Nutty completed an apprenticeship in stonemasonry when he left school before joining the Royal Marines in 2013. He passed for duty in March of 2014 and went straight to M Company 42 Commando where he spent a year as a rifleman before specialising in heavy weapons anti tanks in 2015. He went on to join J Company at 42 Commando as part of the fire support troop.
Over the next 2 years he travelled to every continent with the Marines. In the process, completing a Devizes to Westminster kayak race in 2019 in 20hrs 2 mins with Brucey, winning the Service Trophy and the Navy Cup in the process. Brucey and Nutty have both continued to do kayaking expeditions and competitions all over Europe.
In 2021 he served on HMS Endurance in Antarctica, supporting the Royal Navy in land based artic navigation and survival, working closely with British Antarctic survey.
A man that is extremely well versed on the open oceans, with his vast experience within the Royal Marines and through his crossing of the Mid Atlantic Ocean in 2020 with Brucey. He has an outgoing and active personality with a drive to see new teams taking on rowing challenges of their own.
