I have a Bachelor of Business Degree, majoring in Psychology, along with courses on leadership, time management and lateral thinking.  I have worked in the army and the police force where as an operational officer I was often involved with couples suffering the loss of a loved one; couples tired, bored or frustrated with each other; couples angry and bitter; couples who physically and emotionally abused one another, and couples whose extreme actions led to tragic and often fatal consequences.  These experiences exposed me to the full gamut of human emotions.  My time in the army, the police force and the public service spanned 42 years. Many years running a Bed and Breakfast with Leanne afforded me the opportunity to experience first-hand hundreds of couples, each with their unique strengths, idiosyncrasies and personalities.  Additionally, I’m the author of ‘Winning In The Workplace’ which is aimed at school leavers and young adults, the intention being to assist them find and retain meaningful employment.  I have two children, a son aged 44, and a daughter aged 30, plus two grandchildren, a boy and a girl.  I have also written seven crime novels, with more to come.
