After leaving the RAF, I worked in London, UK as a sales rep before settling down to a career in advertising and marketing. I worked as a copywriter in various London ad agencies and later became a founder director/creative director of a major ad agency in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Upon retirement, my wife and I moved to Florida for three years, but we now live in Lincolnshire, UK. I also paint and contribute to many galleries and exhibitions throughout the UK. My paintings are featured in collections in the US, Canada and Great Britain.
