Fictional. Almost.

In 1997, I walked away.
From the bank.
Not out of defiance.
Not out of necessity.
But because I wanted to be free.

To advise the way I believed was right.
To decide what I could stand behind.
To walk my own path — without a safety net.

Out of that mindset, a company was born.
And later — a novel.

Jack Simmer?

Pure fiction, of course.
But those who read closely
will find traces.
From the world of finance.
From life.
And maybe — from mine.

“Freedom writes the best stories.”
It was never just a line.
It was where it all began.

The novel is available wherever books are sold.
Or simply here —
on our table.
next to the coffee.
