Award-winning journalist.

"Sensei, muse, and writer extraordinaire."
That's how I'm described in an American CEO's book. Too kind.
"Someone who used to be interesting."

Ouch.Working as a journalist since the late 1990s, I've been a crime correspondent, public affairs correspondent, night news editor, and business editor. I spent much of my career in the UK regional media at one of the UK's big morning dailies. I wrote about politics for The Times Higher Education Supplement in Blair years.
