About Me

After a career in electrical engineering and business, during which I became very interested in what motivates people I suddenly realized that fear was the main motivator for many people. So I researched the topic and wrote a book called the Fear Factor. The research showed how important fear is and how it shapes people and societies. I continue to develop the topic, hence this Blog.

Sailing is my sport. I have been a competitive sailor for a long time mainly sailing on a Barbadian build yacht called Count Down and a Beneteau 10m called Bruggadung, participating in regattas from Tobago to St. Maarten. Competitive sailing lead to an interest in handicapping and I became a measure and then the Chief Measurer for the Caribbean Rating Rule for several years.

I owned a Morgan OI 41 for 15 years and sailed through the Caribbean.

I also developed an interest in philosophy and after doing much reading, I did a M.Phil in philosophy at the Cave Hill Campus, Barbados. Wrote a thesis, "The Metaphysics of Information." This was completed in 2005, but I plan to continue studying this subject in the near future.

My wife, June works with me at TMR Sales & Service Ltd. in Barbados. Daughter Jehanne is in Latvia bringing up her two children and my son Andrew is at Reading doing his PhD in Plant Genetics.
