I have written two books: A technical work on, you guessed it Fuzing Systems! and a novel with a ridiculously complex plot that will be made into a modest little film, starring many seriously well known personalities, that will make everyone involved extremely wealthy, popular and happy.

Director

Oct 2016 - Oct 2017
Temple Management Solutions was conceived to serve two sectors. First, those parts of the construction industry, struggling to manage in a rapidly changing legislative and regulatory environment and second, the virtually unemployable, but amazingly talented parents of young school kids, who had to 'be there' to drop them off and pick them up during the normal working day.

DOSG Safety Advisor
-
Sep 2003 - Jun 2006
As a DOSG Safety Advisor, my work covered Land, Sea and Air, conventional and guided weapons, but was always about appropriate management of munition risk. This primarily involved delivering accurate and timely specialist safety advice to project teams, so that they could achieve business goals, whilst achieving compliance with relevant legislation and regulation.
