Dan J Ford

Dan J Ford has been writing as a hobby since 2018, as a side hustle since 2020, and as a professional author since 2023.

Born into a working class family, Dan left high school early, enlisting in the Royal Australian Navy, primarily out of sheer boredom.

In his life, Dan has also:

Undertaken duties as an honorary, Military Royal Guardsman to her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in two countries.

Instructed military officer cadets from Australia, New Zealand and Singapore in hand to hand combat, military self defence techniques and leadership training exercises.

And, commanded a boarding party sweep team on International Coalition Against Terrorism operations in the Persian Gulf.

Dan earned the Australian Service Medal (ASM), The Australian Active Service Medal (AASM) and the International Coalition Against Terrorism (ICAT) medal with the Iraq clasp.

As an entrepreneur in post service life, Dan managed fitness and lifestyle based businesses before embarking on a career change as a writer, when Rogue Agent’s Tom Wiseman came to him in a series of dreams and universal downloads.

Dan lives on the Sunshine Coast of Australia with his wife, Shelby and their beloved whippet dogs.
