I started my working life as salesman in my father’s watchmaker and jeweller supplies business, selling tools and watch parts to a highly technical industry. Early in my career, I developed a wide range of business and life skills, and trained as a teacher, professional musician, contracting painter, fishing trip & boat hire operator to name some of my various ventures.
After a decidedly colourful and varied start to my working life, my career finally settled with a technical sales role, initially selling facsimiles for a New Zealand based office equipment supply company. After setting sales records within my division, and moving into a Sales Management role, I returned to self-employment – my natural calling.
My first serious business sold and serviced 386 and 486 Computers and other office equipment, turning over an impressive $1.1m in its first full year of trading.
Frustrated at not being able to find simple, single ledger, accounting software for my small business clients, I purchased a locally designed package, and redeveloped it into a full suite of accounting software – Kiwi Accounts. Still used by many loyal clients almost 20 years later, the program was eventually sold to over 500 businesses in New Zealand and Australia.
I began developing websites in the early days of the Internet, and in 1999 established Go Kiwi Internet – a commercial website development company. My vision, passion and love of the industry saw me develop over 500 commercial and charity websites personally (over 700 in total) between 1997 and 2006.
In my teenage years I spent time searching for truth, dabbling in Eastern religions along the way. At the age of 20, and newly married, my wife suggested we attend a “proper” church. I obliged and my conversion to Christianity was unexpected and sudden. Basically I actually didn’t DO anything to become a Christian. I didn’t plan it, it was more like I was “zapped” with a recognition that the bible was more than true, it was the truth. Despite early wanderings, I have allowed that seed of faith to grow over the nigh on 50 years since, working through many issues and challenges in the maturing process.
I struggle with Religion, Churchianity and Political Correctness. I really “see red” with liars, cheats and dishonestly, especially the personal sort. Along with a relatively strong understanding of human nature, I have a sensitivity toward and general understanding of political and religious manipulation. I therefore have a deep mistrust of mainstream systems – be they political, financial or religious.
As a result of my Christian faith, I established Red Cross Ministries in 2002, which formalised my commercial support of religious and community group websites. I helped establish Light Party (a Halloween Alternative) in 2003 with Wendy Reid.
In early 2006, I established the Web Developers Association of New Zealand (WDANZ) and have helped establish a range of Joint Ventures to train and support the web development industry.
In 2007 I developed the blueprint for the Internet UNMASKED!! events and wrote the primary content for the Book published in 2008 of the same name.
I was born in Auckland; spent good times in Coromandel township and north; lived the majority of my adult life in Milford on Auckland’s North Shore; played in the snow of the King Country and emigrated to Samoa in February 2010. I am divorced more than once with two adult children and two grand-children. I was one of New Zealand’s first snowboarders and regularly traveled to Mt Ruapehu – a truly magic mountain, in the middle of an amazing country!
In 2008 I wrote the blog VICTUS IN AMBITUS (Latin for “living on the edge“) a loose description of my attitude and approach to life. Living on the edge is an amazing way to live – full of fun, measured risk, and excitement. Sure, when you live on the edge you occasionally fall off, but it is a life that has no regrets, because opportunity is maximised moment by moment. There is no rest. Work is hard – but play is hard too. I love life and approach all things with passion, full-on, shooting straight, with faith but very real. That is the VICTUS IN AMBITUS way. I converted this blog into my second book Lipstick On A Pig.
In October of 2009 I took my daughter Rebecca to Samoa. A week before we we arrived the Tsunami struck and I found myself in a country in turmoil. Internet skills and expertise are low in Samoa and their web presence sux is less than ideal. I found myself compelled to return and help; sold the family home and my businesses then immigrated in February 2010.
I established the SWAP Foundation (Samoan Web Ambassadors Programme) which aimed to teach, mentor and develop inbound tourism through improved marketing as well as a bunch of creative business ideas.
In 2010 I established the Airport Lounge, an information centre, Internet Cafe and base for the SWAP Foundation in the village of Satapuala that was opened by the Prime Minister Tuila’epa. Following difficulties with the landlord I moved our entire operations to 5 acres of land at Falelauniu, Aleisa East, with the PM’s assistance.
Over Christmas 2011/2012 I wrote my third book “A Little Slice of Paradise – Engaging with post-Tsunami Samoa” in which I detail my experiences coming to and living in Samoa, pending publication (2015) awaiting the outcome of an Ombudsman’s complaint. With the Ombudsman’s complaint ending up as yet another racist BS story, I still haven’t published it, but will one day no doubt rewrite it a little and then get it out there!
In 2013 I wrote the free eBook “Connecting the DOTS – Analysing the Samoan Tourism Crisis”. In it I explained how the Samoan Tourism people haven’t a clue; won’t seek help from outsiders and live in a political dreamworld. I explained that small tourism in Samoa is normal (not a crisis) and predicted no change with the current people in power. Perfectly predictable predictions all pertinent & proven, of course!
In Q4 2013 I commenced a major private investigation into Australian conman Daniel Mensi Evans (born David Harlow) and the international fraud he called Ormita, which culminated in publication of The Ormita Report and ended in the closure of the scam. This was a six-months full-time project and not only ceased the Ormita fraud, it did it in spectacular fashion, especially seeing as the entire industry and their lawyers couldn’t even find the conman to serve him legal papers! My secrets to success were a) that I knew and understood his psychiatric condition and b) that I never give up.
In mid 2014, I exposed the various dubious operations and wild claims of several key players in the Barter industry: Bartercard, IRTA, Universal Currency, Qoin & Tradeqoin. Two years later and as a direct result of my blogging and book, The Qoin Con, the crooks actively aided and abetted by the leadership of IRTA, went under – to the tune of half a million Euros with the authorities on their tail for a range of fraud. My revelations in realtime effectively bankrupted them.
My writing in 2015 included the free eBook Mistakes of the Monetary Reformers; the book Corruption in Samoa, and the publication of a Christian Allegory that I wrote in realtime for a Korean solo mother 1999 called “The Prince and the Pauper”.
I lived in Samoa until September 2016, establishing Camp Samoa, a small Samoa Backpackers and voluntourism centre which was in transition to a cross-cultural intentional community, when the Palemia (PM) of Samoa ‘booted me out’ and banned me from Samoa.
This event was triggered by the book Corruption in Samoa identifying moral failure of the Prime Minister Tuila’epa and caused me to lose all (wife, children & possessions). I consider him “just another politician – another coward and a crook”.
On my return to New Zealand I established Writing the Wrong, with the aim of giving a voice to the people.
In October 2016 I suffered heart failure (Atrial Fibrillation) which caused a substantial reduction in my output, but probably down to more common human productivity levels!
In Q1 2017 I commenced an investigation into BBX International, a failing Barter exchange, writing The BBX Investigation and commencing private prosecutions against the Australian and NZ principals.
I published an exposure website www.palemia.com in May 2017, containing letters to the Samoan Prime Minister, Tuila’epa whom I called a coward, a crook and more with the intent of speaking the truth about a man they love to hate and a country billed ad nauseum as a Paradise “Founded Upon God” but actually rent asunder with all manner of violence, immorality, greed and ungodliness.
On 1st June 2017, nine months to the day from my expulsion from Samoa, I commenced publishing my book Corruption in Samoa in serial online format.
In 2017 I was approached by a family friend of the Te Aliki Apai’s descendents to help with their court case in Samoa. This guy had apparently oodles of money and had funded their claims to date. The corruption and greed in Samoa was bad and it seemed to seep into all corners. They paid me to go over to Australia a couple of times but there was immoral sexual activity between a married man and one of this family. I said that I wouldn’t participate any more, pulled out and never got paid, not hearing from them again. They lost all (millions of bucks of valuable land) to that hands of the crooks. Hmmmm, maybe there is a God after all!
My book about money, Let Go The Peanut, was published in 2017. It was written during the last years I spent in Samoa. This book shares the concept of letting go of money, trusting the Lord (or at least the universe) to look after you, if your heart is right and you learn to listen and look around.
In mid 2018 I commenced the building of the Tiny House Workshop with the construction of the first container workshop in Kumeu. This ended when the landlord Ian Plowman caused me mayhem due to his ‘unusual’ eviction and substantial destruction of my property. I believe that the dude has Asperger’s Syndrome and that he justified his over-the-top angry actions illegally. Litigation over the matters was still ongoing in 2022!
In December 2018, I commenced an investigation into the Taumarunui Museum Trust and helped establish KCET which was incorporated in January 2019. I have supported and funded the KCET operations almost entirely.
I then wrote and published the books OFF THE RAILS (launched Q1, 2019), AND THEY SAID:, and BREACH OF TRUST all after coming to the conclusion that the TMT were a “cesspit of perpetual dysfunction and self-interest” as a result of my lengthy and troubling investigation.
Civil litigation against the trust and their trustees resulted from their immorality.
In 2020 (50 years to the day) I published details exposing the woman who fed the Crewe baby Rochelle following her parents murder in 1970 (the book, I Fed the Baby). I wrote the book basing it on the work of Ron Cooke who had worked previously for researcher from Te Kuiti John Ingley. I bought Ron’s company Abundant Past Ltd that had done the work and had promised John on his deathbed that the work would be published no matter his death. This work has been my top seller and has received the blessing of many in the ‘conspiratorial community’ who actually know (and knew) what really went on. It was and is an important and accurate work.
I established Club Wairua in Matapuna, and began a training programme The Secret Life of a Private Investigator. Simultaneously, I launched the book of the same name. It is still available and also online, free.
In Q1 of 2020, I kicked off Club Wairua a private members club located in Matapuna, Taumarunui as a Social Enterprise. This is a limited liability company, technically a business but an entity designed to return benefit to the community. We had a commercial lease on Railways land and owned the physical buildings outright. The company also owns the second version of the Tiny House Workshop. In 2023 a High Court Judge asked me to vacate pending court decisions. Club Wairua relocated to Manunui in 2023 pending upper court decisions and to Raetihi in 2024.
On 31 December 2020 I commenced a series exposing the (at then) contentious issue of 2020 US Presidential Election Fraud which was later published in Q1, 2021 in book form, US Election Fraud UNMASKED!! I said and still consider that the events of and surrounding this election would have a global influence greater than that of WW2 by an order of multiples, and that the election fraud was a US Military sting operation. It now (2022) appears that with the subsequent fraudulent COVID-19 vaccine activities these were understatements.
In mid 2021 I worked with Auckland-based author Gillian Taylor to produce her book, La Riposte, essentially her biography. This was a good experience for her, enabling her to clear out a few skeletons from her closet. I recommend the experience of sharing our secrets, regardless of commercial success, or how many books sell. I find it good to share and to be honest. I also think others learn and take heart from this kind of thing too.
In Q2 of 2021, I launched a Seminar Series entitled, Swapping Ignorance, in which I offered the public a summary of key Conspiracy Theory topics with a follow-up Q&A, answering any question on any topic of attendees’ choosing.
As at Q3, 2021 I am currently writing two books: “EVIL UNMASKED!! – Understanding Widespread Systemic Satanic Pedophilia” which has been written online and is going through final editing and “Crooked Cops UNMASKED!! – How to deal with Police Corruption” which is just getting started in July 2021.
My website www.JABQuestions.com has resulted from hundreds of hours spent digesting a range of concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine issues. Essentially my early warning of April 2020 that the so-called COVID-19 pandemic was using fear to control has been borne out ‘in spades’. In Q1 of 2022, Vaccine hesitancy has increased exponentially and the polarisation of the issue shows the accuracy of my analysis.
In Q3, 2021 I wrote the short book MESSY! – a book detailing the backstory to Australian crook Caroline Macdonald. It includes the entire text of the BBX Investigation a massive expose of the fraudulent international BBX barter operation.
During 2020 and 2021 I worked with an Auckland researcher, [the late] Declan Curran to produce a book and website DECEPTION – The MH370 & MH17 Stories .It will hopefully be published soon (Q4, 2024).
In Q1,2023 I experienced a ‘medical misadventure’ with eyesight complications following hospitalisation to treat a leg infection. I then retired.
I walk the fine line between genius and insanity, often going where no-one else does, and sometimes actually doing the impossible!
