about my book

When we survived the uninsured loss of 2007, which took me to the absolute knife edge of bankruptcy, we continued to face further challenges, and the future of my company was uncertain for many years, though we didn't share this fact widely...


This book is an inspirational feel good journey of overcoming adversity.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Author

I compare wealth with the number of visible laughter lines on my face and describe myself to be an independent thinker, saxophone player, cyclist and happiness advocate. 


After 30 years in the TV industry, I have written a book on the history of VMI,  as I wanted to spread the word about the struggles that we endured to overcome our threat of near-certain bankrupcy in 2007.


I live in Kent with my family and run camera rental company, VMI.TV Ltd and wrote the book, Full Experience Living, during the 2020 lock-down.


There is an active BLOG on this site where visitors have left comments.

MAG Landmine charity

We take so much of our lives for granted, that we never give a second thought to land mines.  Every day, some 20 people are killed by landmine somewhere in the world and half of these are children.  For this reason, a share of the book proceeds will be donated to a mine clearing organisation called MAG.
