My Mug Shot and Other Information About Me

I always like to see who I am dealing with. You are probably the same.

So here is my picture, photo - mug shot:

• reading - I couldn't even begin to tell you how many books I have read. It would literally be thousands. I enjoy fiction and non-fiction. So long as I can learn something from a book I am happy.

  For Christmas and birthdays my family ALWAYS knows what to buy me. I have a library and several bulging-at-the-seams book shelves in several rooms in my home. I have enough books to open a second-hand book store.

• writing - I have written nine books - both offline and online (e-books). This includes the e-book that you will find on this site- "How to Save Thousands and Increase Your Net Wealth." I have also written hundreds of articles on the internet plus many feature articles for magazines and newspapers.

  One of my favorite stories that I have written is "The Power of Choice" that I speak about on this website. I wrote it after the death of a very dear friend. It has been downloaded by people in more than 45 countries at last count. I have received hundreds of letters of praise for this e-book.

  Some people have credited the "message" that it contains as having changed their life. One gentleman in Norway even wrote back and told me that after having read it himself he immediately woke his sleeping son up to read it to him.

• body building - Because I was born small and gangly and used to get regularly beaten up as a kid I decided to do something about it.

• karate - Same as above. I have 35 years of experience in karate. I am currently ranked as a 7th dan black belt. There are only 10 dan levels, so I guess you could say that I am 70% of the way there!

• exotic palms - my interest in palms started when I purchased a new luxury home. I tore the vegetation out and began planting palms. I now have a "resort-style" back yard that makes me feel like I am in a tropical hideaway.

• investing - hence, my interest in writing this particular book.

  There are so many scams and schemes and absolute rubbish being peddled on the internet that I decided to tell others what has worked for me.

• meeting people - I enjoy meeting people. Thankfully, due to the wonders of the internet, I have been able to form friendships with people from all over the world, particularly in the USA.

I guess that is more than enough about me.
