Lawrence Didsbury often says that he is a "jack of all, master of none" and that "only those who experience -- truly live". During his life, Lawrence has had over thirty-nine jobs and six businesses spread over a variety of disciplines. For example, Lawrence has been an IT and Business Analyst, Draftsman, Combat Engineer, Systems Engineer, Marketing Manager, Entrepreneur, Public Speaker, Cook, Baker, Waiter, Bartender, Restaurant Manager, Hotel Front Desk Clerk, Direct Mail Marketer, Gardener, Electrician's Assistant, Welder's Assistant, Carpenter's Assistant, Ranch Caretaker, Writer and Public Speaker.
An avid reader of "explorer stories" as a child, Lawrence began his traveling adventures in earnest as a young U.S. Marine Sergeant living aboard ship in the Pacific and Indian Oceans for a year. Since then, Lawrence has visited eighteen countries and thirty-nine of the U.S. States, traveling for business and leisure by airplane, train, bus, boat, and quite often on foot. His travels have allowed him to experience both the impoverished and seedy underbelly of the world and the views from the tops of the finest luxury hotels. Most of his fictional characters are drawn from these experiences.
After a few decades of "playing the game" in the corporate world, traveling globally as an IT Speaker and Consultant, Lawrence founded Winchester Research. After virtualizing both his business and his home, he soon returned to living his dream as a traveling writer and consultant, exploring and learning new things full-time. Lawrence has been published in a number of Information Technology trade magazines and has written two fiction novels, "The Chalice" and "Wolf Den One" which are available on Amazon.com
