Originally from the Royal Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, I completed an engineering apprenticeship and then joined the Royal Airforce as a technician. On leaving the AirForce I then worked in the oil and gas exploration industry as a project manager and engineering technology manager. Now I live and work in the South of France with my wife, pursuing a few different business interests and trying to live a more sustainable lifestyle. I still enjoy a technical challenge and write books primarily related to web design and marketing. I also use my web design and marketing skills to help other authors publish their books.
