After completing an HND in Electronics at Southampton (UK) and a BA in Mathematics through the Open University (London), I embarked on a forty year career in corporate infrastructure project management that took me to many countries, working for numerous organisations in both the public and private sector. I then decided to take 'time out' in order to fulfil a lifelong ambition of writing a factual novel about the Royal Flying Corps squadron in which my grandfather served during WW1.

​

A former recreational pilot, skier and competitive rower, my hobbies include tennis, cycling, graphic design, photography, cars and motorcycles. With three children and three grandchildren, I live with my wife in country New South Wales, Australia.

I have been a full-time writer since 2006 and my fifth book, Over the Western Front is the story of the WW1 operation of 6 Squadron, Royal Air Force.
