For over thirty years, Tony presented face to face seminars, courses, conferences and workshops, including events with hundreds of delegates. He delivered over two thousand presentations in over thirty countries. He was a founder member of the UK Professional Speakers' Association and he has a master's degree in Theatre Arts.

Now retired, Tony writes novels, short stories and plays, as well as curating his online business webinars for different websites including his own at www.ukwebinars.com.

Tony plays the acoustic guitar and currently, his most popular offering is a combination of extracts from one of his novels, with their themes further explored and emphasised by his choice of songs from singer/songwriters like Jake Thackray.

His novels and short stories are mostly set in the Lake District, although one of his most successful books, 'Geordie Boy', is a collection of coming-of-age short stories set on Tyneside.
