Offering inspiration through fear.

I am the author of the award-winning, true story From Bullied to Black Belt and the sequel An Everyday Warrior, both of which tell of how I overcame extreme adversity through courage and love. After my childhood and teenage years were spent at the hands of vicious bullies who graduated to violent individuals and knife men, I became agoraphobic and suffered panic attacks that disabled me. My plight wasn’t helped by my narcissistic and controlling father, a loud-mouth big shot in a small town he thought he owned. On the occasions I would venture out I would inevitably meet someone he had upset and thus suffered more abuse and assault. My problems grew three-fold on my return home when I was subject to more punishment from my ‘pa’. It is fair to say my confidence was zilch. Then I met a young girl who showed me strength and through her I flourished, becoming one of the UK’s leading Fight Coaches, public speaker, author, screenwriter and mentor. This girl literally dressed me in the morning through my depression, to travelling the United Kingdom, learning to fight and grow. It wasn’t easy, it is never easy but was it worth it? You bet your life it was!
