This is my dedicated site as an award-winning author and executive producer of a documentary film. I am inspired by the big events in our history – ones which impact the current and the future. That inspiration has led to books written on World War II, the deadly 1977 race riots in Bermuda, the 2020-2021 global pandemic and a memoir on policing. My published books are in the non-fiction genre.
Jonathan was born in Bermuda. He had successful law enforcement and private sector careers and turned to writing in the midst of both.
He served in the Bermuda Police Service for twenty-seven years, five of those years as the Commissioner of Police. He has considerable management and security-sector experience having worked in senior Police management positions and trained at the prestigious Bramshill Staff College in the UK and the Canadian Police College in Canada.
