Exiting the RN in '78 found the best jobs were for salespeople so joined Liberty Life UK & within 3 years graduated to Training Manager. Returning to electronics in '84, qualified with City & Guilds. Emigrated to South Africa in '85 mastering Inventory & Stock control procedures for electronic sales at STC in Boksburg. From the late 80's started Police Reservist duties, Community Police Forum, Sector Crime Forum, Neighbourhood Watch and Enclosed Suburb Groups.1998 experienced a near death serious M/C accident but within 2 yrs fired the wheelchair and worked on Conditioned Victim (v1; softcover) with Dr R Wesson. Published in late 2002 to general acclaim and interest. 2004 qualified as a security officer and joined CMS in Benoni to preach the gospel of Precinct Philosophy, (PP is similar to road-closure just without boom-gates.) Formed the Security Company 'Outriders' in 2009 offering armed escorts for transport companies carrying high value loads; (Cell phones, laptops etc). Changed to training in 2012 once it became apparent that over half of truck-hijackers were either cops, or people dressed as cops. Security Training proved a bust as few employers seem to care about training, most 'trainers' are simply 'selling' PSIRA qualifications. Repatriated to the UK to retire gracefully in 2013 but quit in 6 weeks. Returned to SA and commenced 'Conditioned' eBook version late 2013 thanks mainly to Smashwords.view less
