Author Information
A dedicated father and husband, Andy enjoys a lot of time travelling and spending time outdoors kayaking, running, hill walking and cycling - much of where his inspiration for writing comes from. Andy is a Chartered Civil Engineer and former Army Reservist, having served in the Parachute Regiment and latterly Royal Engineers over a successful career. Much of the experiences and lessons gained from this have helped shape Kip and his adventures drawing out characteristics such as courage, discipline, resilience and problem solving; to name a few. He has a passion for martial arts, kickboxing at international level holding a 2nd degree black belt in Korean Kickboxing in addition to being a 3 x Tatami World Champion through the World Kickboxing & Karate Association (WKA). Andy enjoys coaching and developing others in the sport and hopes to inspire more people across all age groups to live active and healthy lives through the promotion of martial arts in the book series.
