I have been very successful twice in my life, once in Advertising and then in Exhibitions (Trade shows),  seen a lot of the world, earned a lot of money wasted a lot of money, although asset rich, cash poor at present , had very good times and very bad times, I know the meaning of joy and have been to depths of despair. I have three great children a son, daughter and step daughter, all adults now, together with their mother they are the most important people in my life. I was married and divorced once long ago I was 20, have had long term relationships with two beautiful women . I have truly crashed and burned, and seen both sides of lifes coin, been homeless and lived in my car and then in a Salvation Army Hostel. I have made some big mistakes and made some wrong decisions, and am now trying sort myself out having already staightened myself out.  Currently getting back in touch with my creative self - photography, art, music and writing. Trying to become a late renaissance man. All in all I have lived a life and am still alive to write about it and live a whole lot more.
