About the author
Throughout the past two decades, I have diligently expanded my knowledge and honed my skills in the field of Risk Management across an array of industries, including government, banking, real estate, transportation, telecommunications, and consulting. My formal academic studies have provided me with a strong foundation in risk management fields such as environmental health, occupational and industrial health and safety, compliance and law, emergency response management, and business continuity.
However, it is my commitment to continuous learning and informal education that has truly broadened my knowledge and enabled me to surpass the expectations set by qualifications. I have an unquenchable thirst to understand the core principles that drive risk management across various industries. This desire arises from my ultimate objective of using these principles to improve my own life and sharing my experiences through my writing, so that others can also benefit from them.
Instead of relying on unclear anecdotes, I am dedicated to pursuing practical solutions rooted in my vast experience and continuous research, fueled by my inherent autodidactic nature. Despite the almost overwhelming temptation to conform, I make a conscious effort to challenge conventional wisdom and evaluate outcomes based on real-life experiences rather than merely hoped for results. With my meticulous attention to detail and relentless research skills, I have thrived as an auditor, risk management, and compliance professional in the corporate world.
This has not only enabled me to excel in my formal employment endeavors but has also safeguarded my family from the prevalent pitfalls that ensnare countless others. My unwavering commitment to enhancing my skills in risk management ultimately stems from my profound dedication to excelling in my greatest passions: being a father to my son and a father figure and provider for my family.
After publishing my first book in 2023, "The Homeschooling Father, How and why I got started", I have now decided to explore, research and write about more subjects that intrigue me.
