As a young girl, Heather aspired to carry on her family's legacy and become a professional cowgirl.

Heather earned a rodeo scholarship, but during career exploration day, ‘Horse Trainer’ or ‘Rodeo Star’ was not an option. A teacher encouraged her to become a pilot. Having competed against men all her life, Heather felt undeterred and disregarded the fact that only 1% of airline pilots were female. So at 17, she traded her lariat for a cockpit.

Being bought up around family dogs and his own pet Dutch rabbit engendered an ongoing love of animals. The turbulent British political scene during the 1980's saw his interest rise in politics. During these early years, he started to write his first novel and many poems. Pressures of work, a growing family and increased worldwide travel for international companies saw his writing put aside, time at home spent with family and long country walks with wife and Border collie.
