About me
I served in the British Navy for twelve years, first as a navigating officer and later as a helicopter pilot. I left with an airline transport pilot’s licence, a Queen’s commendation and a growing interest in creative writing, to join an air taxi company based near London.
I was beginning to question whether a career as a commercial pilot was the road I wanted to take when I ran out of sky one day and, as an instant paraplegic, had the decision made for me. While recuperating, I set up my first business as a public relations consultant. I learnt to walk again and recovered a flying licence but, still not quite-able bodied, decided to concentrate on a new career based on writing and corporate communications.
I manage AHInk’s business from an executive shed in the Hampshire countryside, close to my family, but travel extensively in support of my work. Since 2007 I have served as a Trustee to the Spinal Injuries Association www.spinal.co.uk.
