62I was born in Wales, Milford Haven, and I graduated from school with qualifications in English, Math, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Latin, History and French. My other most memorable events at school were winning the Welsh Schools Middle 1500m title and the Senior 800m title.
After leaving school, I graduated in Physics at Loughborough University based in Central UK.
Between 1976 to 1984, I worked in the Research and Development Departments of a number of major UK companies including Rolls Royce. I also had another spell at my old University employed on a research post. During this period, I perfected my ability to solve complex problems using a system based on small experimental steps performed, in some cases, over quite lengthy periods of time.
In 1984, I founded my first business which produced Safety Critical Software products. By 2000, my Company's turnover exceeded Ten million pound Sterling with a client base that included Boeing and British Aerospace. I found that the analytical techniques that I had developed during my Research years to be of great help during this period. Of special note was that I became very proficient at producing business plans that were written specifically to attract new investment.
My son Jonathan was born during this time in 1986.
During 2000 to 2003, I lived in Southern Ireland and authored an e-book/e-course titled 'The Secrets of Success' which described how to start and build a business.
As I intended to sell this product on the Internet, I commenced investigations into both internet marketing techniques and website design. During this study, I met my wife Christine through the participation in online marketing events.
As she lived in Pennsylvania USA, I crossed the Atlantic Ocean tens of times over the next couple of years during our courtship. We got married in September 2005. I became a permanent resident of the USA in 2007.
Our internet business took off in a big way but unfortunately it came to an abrupt halt when I ended up in Intensive Care in the Autumn of 2004 requiring surgery.
I had been dabbling with trading on the Foreign Exchange Market for a number of years and once I had recuperated from my operation, I began a full-scale study into this subject.
From then till now, I have performed thousands of experiments on the Forex both breaking down many myths and producing very successful trading systems, techniques and algorithms.
I have listed all my results in an e-book/e-course titled 'The Dark Side of the Forex' which I intend to start selling on the internet in the near future.
