I was born and brought up in villages near Scarborough, North Yorkshire, an area he still calls home. I was educated in a village primary school where I failed the 11+ examination and moved to a secondary school, where he gained just enough qualifications to enter an apprenticeship in Engineering, before quitting that secure world to follow my love of the underwater environment into a lifetime at sea. I worked my way from diver’s helper to eventually offshore manager of large oilfield construction projects worldwide. I married my first, and only love, Marion and we remain happily together until this day, in the home we built ourselves in rural North Yorkshire. My first and probably only book is my autobiography which tells the story of a life which I feel is sufficiently different to warrant a book. and It hopefully also gives hope to anyone who thinks the lack of a university degree somehow condemns them to a humdrum life. Apart from an interesting and exciting carreer in the offshore oilfields we have travelled extensivly and exsperienced many adventures. My hobbies include sea kayaking, which I am an advanced Sea kayak leader in and a Level 3 coach, angling, skiing and walking. I still uses some of the skills learned in apprenticeship to turn out all kinds of projects from my home workshop. The idea to write about my experience was simply for personal gratification and fill some time during the Coronavirus lockdown. But as it evolved so did the idea to publish the book. As it turns out it one of my proudest achievements.
