Born in London, UK, I left school to work in a bank (temporarily). At the same time, I joined the Territorial Army as a signaller. This gave me a taste for a military lifestyle, so I joined the Royal Navy as an Engineer working my way up to a Petty Officer in-charge of a weapons engineering department on an aircraft carrier. Having left, I joined the Lincolnshire Police in the UK, patrolling the towns, villages, and countryside of the county. I gave it all up to travel the world, working as a SCUBA Diving Instructor, and ultimately owning my own dive centre on the island of Fuerteventura, Spain. Now settled back in the UK, I decided to put my adventures in writing, the Memoir Series was born, and, to date, the first two books in the series have been published.
