Born in England, I started learning karate from a young age. From early on, I came to the realization that I thought beyond my years. At age seventeen, I founded the martial art known as Shoto-Chi (pine-wave energy). While developing Shoto-Chi, I made the decision to get more hands-on regarding learning about human behavior and conflict. I worked as a doorman/bouncer and discovered how, through the understanding of human behavior and effective communication styles, I had the ability to control conflict and bring conflicts to a resolute state without the use of force in most instances. I also trained in close protection. In 1999, I become recognized in England as a founder of a unique martial art. I now reside in Canada with my wife and son. Twenty-four years after founding Shoto-Chi and studying human behavior, I decided to write a book that helps people understand the dynamics of conflict and the power of effective communication through the understanding of perception.
