Born in Edinburgh the Capitol of Scotland. Educated there. My first real job was as a cadet officer (deck) on Shell Tankers. I sailed half the way around the world before I was 17. I have lived as an adult in Five Continents: In Scotland, Holland, South Africa (pre and post-Apartheid), Namibia, Swaziland, Australia, People’s Republic of China and now USA.
I managed the development of the world’s first digital set-top-box (STB) that went into the international markets; the first professional video over internet protocol (IP) edge gateway – which is used in nearly all sports stadiums in the US and Canada today to carry the TV signal out of the stadiums.
I used to fly physically around the world every eight to twelve weeks for almost ten years. I have met and done business directly with many Prime Ministers and leading world industrialists. I am CEO of my third successful business and love helping start-up and middle size companies (business turn-around).
I have played top level rugby in Scotland and South Africa. I played my last game at 48 in France. I have raced cars professionally in Scotland, England, Europe, South Africa and in NASCAR in the USA. I love wine, art, nature and beautiful ladies!
