Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have been an employee, employer, landlord, entrepreneur, business owner, and pension scheme chairman, as well as being a keen private investor for more than three decades.
I was semi-retired before the age of 50, but still acts as a specialist consultant on various business activities.
I live with my wife and two children in North Somerset, Bristol, UK.
I have just written my first book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Master the Art of Money | Achieve Financial Freedom
The book came about after my unsuccessful search for an all-encompassing educational financial book for my two children.
I wanted a book that covered all the important aspects of “money”, “saving” and “investing”, in an easy to follow, logical and informative way.
As I couldn’t find a single book anywhere that covered the broad range of financial subjects I wanted my children to learn about, including how to secure their own financial futures, I decided I would write my own, after all, I’ve been making, saving and investing money, for well over three decades now, so I know a thing or two about it.
