My Story

Award-winning journalist… 

Internationally-published author… 

Innovative, ground-breaking marketer and copywriter… 

TV and video presenter… 

In a wide-ranging career working on four continents, I've garnered a wealth of experience. 

JOURNALIST 

​

 In my original career choice in my home country of England, I won a News Reporter of the Year award. After joining the London Daily Mirror, I became the country’s youngest Chief of Bureau…in war-torn Belfast, at the height of the Irish “Troubles.” When an opportunity to move to the United States presented itself, I joined the tabloid National Enquirer and spent seven years covering a variety of human-interest stories in North America, South America, and Europe. 

AUTHOR AND GHOSTWRITER 

​

More than thirty books published in ten languages either by international giants such as Random House, Bantam Doubleday Dell, Ballantine Books and St. Martin’s Press or self-published. Specializing in memoirs, business and entrepreneurship, health and wellness, how-to, and motivational projects. I’ve been privileged to collaborate with owners of billion-dollar companies and startups, scientists, doctors, nutritionists and academics—and individuals with remarkable life stories.

MARKETER 

​

I created the concept of “DirectNet Marketing”—the merger of direct response advertising and direct sales/network marketing. I also produced, wrote and appeared as the main guest in a series of TV infomercials which, in just two years, generated more than half a million customers and a further half a million leads.

ENTREPRENEUR  

​

As co-founder, I spearheaded the sales and marketing of three huge multi-million-dollar businesses in the UK and the US and helped create and promote products that have sold more than $2 billion worldwide. I’ve also developed products that were on the shelves of Whole Foods, Ralphs, Vitamin Shoppe and many other supermarket and health food chains. 

TV AND VIDEO PRESENTER  

​

My communication skills extend beyond the written word. I have not only scripted but also hosted and appeared in several TV infomercials featuring Hollywood celebrities. I have created and scripted numerous corporate and training videos including Accelerated Learning Techniques in Action for Nightingale Conant.
