Biography
Entrepreneur with over 20 years experience in Media, 12 of which as a top Manager in Music, Film & TV.

Several years ago, I became a proud Dad and chose a lifestyle change, moving to Lymington on the UK's South Coast where I developed several successful local online businesses and community projects and have much enjoyed a more family orientated time. (www.lymington.com)

More recently I have missed the international playing field I used to inhabit and realised my usefullness at home is increasingly limited to paying bills, so with famebook™ (www.famebook.com) rapidly propelling me back into the limelight, I'm really enjoying the thrill of knowing all my collective experience and extensive contacts are dovetailing into possibly one of the most exciting periods of my life.

Given the reaction to our business model, I should have called it The Pelican Brief!

famebook™ (www.famebook.com) will hopefully one day afford me the luxury of writing kids books and not caring if anyone reads them as well as being able to invest in up and coming people like me who derive much more pleasure from giving than taking, so seek wealth to fuel that opportunity.

Specialties:

Proven visionary entrepreneur, pioneer and figurehead with strong understanding of the media landscape, especially from a backstage perspective in Music, TV, Film and Politics.

From a networking perspective, I have developed over twenty years long-standing relationships with numerous media industry leaders, iconic 'hall of fame' celebrities and up and coming entrepreneurs.
Interests
I am a keen sailor and am happiest out of sight of land at night with a calm sea, clear starry skies and a full moon, fair winds and great company. Skiing with my family and friends is also one of the things I most look forward to every year.
