James Punt

James was born in England in May 1975, the oldest child of Moira and Gary Punt. He spent his early years in the town of Thundersley, in Essex, finishing school in 1991. He wanted to study Zoology and work with animals, but over the next few years, he found himself undertaking a string of different jobs. In 1998, he was offered a security role and then spent nineteen-and-a-half years in the industry, establishing a reputation that moved him up into management and then onto close protection. James is a great adventurer and sportsman, and loves being in the outdoors. In early 2014, he left the security industry and started a new career as a building manager. Later that year, James found a half-written manuscript that he had started writing in 2005. After showing it to his father, he decided to finish writing the story. When his father passed away that year, James decided to self-publish his book and dedicate it to his father.
