Prior to becoming an author and private researcher, I had a diverse career and education, and purposefully pursued an eclectic series of interests. I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1986 (Massey University, New Zealand) and worked in New Zealand and England as a veterinarian, predominantly in small animal practice. In 1997 I completed my Master of Business Administration at the London Business School and pursued a career in biotechnology and global healthcare investment banking in Europe. Between 2002 and 2012, as a vaccine innovator and CEO, I raised NZ$47 million from European life science investors and the UK government and built a vaccine company in the UK that was sold in 2015. During this time a synthetic universal influenza-A vaccine, able to immunologically counter all potential pandemic influenza-A strains, was progressed into clinical testing (https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlton-b...). The underlying vaccine technology was developed to counter the threat of mutating viruses transmitted from animals to people (i.e., zoonosis). This decade-plus background in vaccine innovation for zoonotic mutating viruses provided a doorway to my research on the Arctic climate and solar activity’s influence on viral mutation and pandemic flu outbreaks. My new career as an author began in 2012 and was enabled by two decades of hobby research in the field of pyramid archeology, resulting in the publication of "Discovering Ritual Meditation: Transcendental Healing and Self-Realization" (http://amzn.to/29EdrS0) in 2014. I spent three years being a test pilot for the ancient priesthood ritual methods that I discovered during my archeology research. My interests in earth as a complex living system (Mother Earth), enabling the evolution of all life and consciousness, while living “in presence” in the intense magnetic fields of Lake Atitlan’s volcanoes (Guatemala), “inspired” my latest book "Revolution: Ice Age Re-Entry" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...). I am interested in the sun’s magnetic and electromagnetic control of earth systems and catastrophic risks, and its enablement of human consciousness (awareness). The Sun-Earth system controls climate change and its risks (cold-glaciation, drought, extreme weather, rapid climate change), volcanism, earthquakes, and disease.
