Autorenporträt
Chris Thrall was born in South-East London. He is a former Royal Marines Commando who served in the Northern Ireland Conflict and trained in airborne insertion and Arctic warfare and survival. In 2011 Chris wrote the bestselling memoir Eating Smoke detailing his descent into crystal meth psychosis while working for the Hong Kong triads. A qualified pilot and skydiver Chris has explored all seven continents and backpacked through every country in North, South and Central America. In 2018 he ran an ultramarathon a day the length of Britain to highlight the veteran suicide epidemic and in 2019 completed a quadruple ironman distance triathlon. Chris has firewalked over red-hot coals to raise money to work with street children in post-war Mozambique. He has driven development workers to India and back by coach and scuba-dived in the Antarctic Polar Circle. In 2001 the Finnish Nation awarded Chris their Second Level Commendation on the grounds of human generosity. With a degree in youth work Chris is a life coach, an addiction specialist and inspirational speaker. He lives in the UK and plans to continue adventuring, charity work and hosting his popular Bought the T-Shirt podcast.
