Dr A. Baddon has been a special forces soldier, bouncer, bodyguard, adventure therapy guide, psychology researcher, counsellor, lecturer, and electronics technician. He has competed in national-level martial arts competitions, flown hang gliders, and rock climbed.
More recently, he has dedicated his time to developing programs to combat social disconnection (which, after decades of counselling clients, he identified as the precursor to many of society’s ills).
He divides his time between charity work, developing social enterprises and international aid projects, writing, and maintaining a small counselling practice. He lives in Melbourne, Australia with his wife. He has written this memoir using a pseudonym to minimise the expected retaliation from those in power who punish any who dare to question, let alone expose, their misdeeds.
