Paul Carter

A take no prisoner’s approach to life has seen Paul Carter heading to some of the world's most remote, wild and dangerous places as a contractor in the oil business. Amazingly, he's survived (so far) to tell these stories from the edge of civilization, and reason.

Paul has been shot at, hijacked, and held hostage. He holds two Australian motorcycle records for distance and speed and was once locked in the toilet by his own monkey. Taking postings in some of the world’s wildest and most remote regions, not to mention some of the roughest drilling rigs on the planet. Paul has worked in locations as far-flung as the North Sea, Middle East, Borneo and Tunisia, as exotic as Sumatra, Vietnam and Thailand, and as flat out dangerous as Afghanistan, Columbia, and Nigeria. Paul survived all this with his crew, some of the maddest, baddest, and strangest people you could hope not to meet. This storyteller has four international best-selling books about his remarkable career, and he is currently working on a fifth.

Paul has been working in the oil exploration industry since he was eighteen years old, Paul and his crew have completed drilling campaigns in some of the world's most remote, wild and dangerous places. In that time, he accumulated a wealth of hilarious and often terrifying stories. He is the author of four best selling books and is currently working on his fifth. Today he lives in Perth with his wife, two children and three motorcycles. But who knows where he'll be tomorrow!
