Bonnie D. Huval is originally from Texas, where she worked briefly in oil well testing and for several years as an engineer in the Space Shuttle programme. After that, she has not stayed in any one spot more than a few years. In addition to moving abroad, she has traveled and worked across the United States, western Europe, and on brief visits to Canada and Mexico.At one point in the 1990s her business holdings included assets in Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and New Hampshire. She joked that when advisors said to diversify investments, she thought they meant geographically, so that no single natural disaster could hit them all. Then a hurricane came ashore in Texas and traveled inland across all of those assets, causing floods all the way.She now lives in England. She is a dual citizen with businesses in the UK and USA, and says perhaps they are still not spread out enough. Her primary work is consulting and services, often for large multinationals, with the benefit of heavy IT expertise. Her business interests also include real estate and property management. She publishes books and articles for small businesses, focusing on pragmatic real-world tips and information that she finds lacking in most bookstores.
