Autorenporträt

Sam McGrath was the youngest soldier to achieve the rank of major since the Second World War and ran the selection course for the crack Parachute Regiment for three years. While still a serving soldier he completed the Bob Graham Round for the Help for Heroes charity - an endurance challenge climbing 42 peaks in the Lake District with a combined vertical ascent of 27,000ft over 72 miles - and all in 24 hours. At the age of 31 he left the Parachute Regiment and joined an Investment Bank on their MBA graduate programme. He now works as an Investment Banker in Singapore combining a high-profile and demanding job with family life and several fitness challenges.
