"The trouble with weather forecasting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it."

Thanks for dropping by my Amazon Author Central page. My first published writing appeared in motoring publications when I was still at school. I organised the first series for historic racing cars' during the 1980's in my native Ireland and soon found myself writing for the likes of "Autosport" and many similar periodicals.

It took a while before I got around to a first book, with many delays in between, not the least of them being my career in finance which has been an involvement dating back almost 30 years now!

I have been active in online business on the world wide web since 1994 and maintain a passion for finance and the future - both intertwined and separately! In that respect, I was creating and writing about "FinTech" over a decade before the word was itself invented!

I was once the CEO of the Transylvanian stock exchange amongst a myriad of other positions while in the world of startups, my wife and I are amongst the three Co Founders of a Polish-based grassroots startup movement, "Mission ToRun."

You can often find me addressing, or chairing panels at various conferences around the world (mostly related to finance & markets) while I appear often on tv /radio and have written Opinion pieces for many leading newspapers including the AFR, Boersen Zeitung, FT and Wall Street Journal.
