Accomplishments

During my working career, I worked in the heavy duty mechanic industry with extensive experience on highway trucks, open-pit mining equipment, highway maintenance equipment and, in my early years, spent some time as a marine engineer with the British Royal Fleet Auxiliary fleet attached to the Far East Fleet.

My professional working life does not related to the authorship or publication of written works, although I have always had a keen interest in those skills and have written many stories, memoirs and poems over the decades. Since my retirement I have been able to concentrate more on the development of my artistic skills.
