| Introduction | After a career in electrical engineering and business, during which I became very interested in what motivates people I suddenly realized that fear was the main motivator for many people. So I researched the topic and wrote a book called the Fear Factor. I continue to develop the topic, hence this Blog and the publication of Understanding Fear on Amazon. Sailing is my sport. I am a competitive sailor, participating in Caribbean regattas from Tobago to St. Maarten. This lead to an interest in handicapping and I became a measure and then the Chief Measurer for the Caribbean Rating Rule for several years. I also developed an interest in philosophy and after doing much reading, I did a M.Phil in philosophy at the Cave Hill Campus, Barbados where I wrote a thesis, "The Metaphysics of Information." This was completed in 2005 and prompted early retirement to continue developing my ideas in philosophy. I enrolled at Reading University this fall (2008) to do a Phd in philosophy. |
