I have lived a varied life to date. I have been married and have 3 wonderful boys who make me very proud. During my working life I have performed a number of leadership roles as well as running several terrestrial and online businesses. Subsequently I have picked up a vast amount of knowledge and experience that I am now trying to pass on through my books.I began my working life in the Police and worked on Traffic and Fast Response. After leaving I trained and worked as a driving instructor and then was headhunted for the role of National Fleet Instructor Training Manager by Peter Gethin, ex formula 1 driver and winner of the Italian Grand Prix 1971.In this role I was responsible for the training of multiple instructors and a lot of this was achieved through presentations. Another aspect of this role involved giving presentations to staff and customers on behalf of blue chip companies such as Ferrari, Aston Martin, Audi and Porsche.

Later in my life I trained and qualified as a secondary school teacher, (I currently hold UK QTS (qualified teacher status) in ICT and have an intimate knowledge of presentation software. I have designed and delivered countless presentations to thousands of individuals from the age of 5 to 80 on a huge variety of subjects.Throughout his life I have been a passionate photographer, at one point working as a professional wedding photographer. This is an ongoing love affair and I love teaching others, hence the books.I have been taking images for more than 40 years using both film and digital cameras, although always with Canon. His main areas of interest are the natural world, architecture and macro photography. You can view a lot of his images by visiting his online portfolio at SoftFocus.infoAs a natural teacher I am now writing books that use my experience in a wide range of topics from speaking to presentation, writing and my passion - photography.

I hope you enjoy the books and if this is the case please feel free to leave me a warm review.Jack.
