EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

"My principal economic aim has been to avoid having to work for anyone else. I achieved this initially through higher education, then ran a high-tech business to exploit my patents, which I sold to buy a run-down holiday park. After upgrading the park to five-stars, I sold it to realise my long-held ambition to pursue a career as a full-time artist."
