Hiding in Plain Sight – My Life & Adventures Protecting Celebrities is the thrilling book release from celebrity bodyguard and protector Thomas LeBrun. A true story and an effective one at that, the book offers insight into a unique profession and the work of someone who makes a living protecting those around him.
When he was just a kid, Thomas LeBrun was full of imagination and his dreams. One dream, in particular, became his purpose, and he told his dad at the tender age of five that he wanted to become just like Superman and fly around the world protecting people. This dream came true because it became a purpose, and it shaped a journey, and Thomas got to become a Superman who protects people by entering the field of security, a desire born out of his passion for protecting people.
For the past three decades, the author has been working in the Executive Protection industry, working to protect and guard some very important people, with many clients from the entertainment world in particular. He has worked in some of the most dangerous cities from Johannesburg to Rio de Janeiro, establishing himself as the advance agent in these places.
The book covers his work and his training, which featured the theory in the form of anti-terrorism courses with the Anti-Terrorism Accreditation Board, maritime security, and executive protection. But, of course, there were also decades of practice and a journey of self-development in the physical aspects as well, as the author is a former champion powerlifter and a martial arts practitioner with Hall of Fame recognition. In addition, LeBrun has received awards for his work in executive protection as the specialist of the year in 1999 and 2005.
Who has this real-life superhero protected? Some of his clients included Bill Gates, Elton John, and Whitney Houston. He has worked across forty-five countries. The book offers insight into some incredible adventures that he has had with the added bonus of real-life rather than fictional thrills.
As the name suggests, the author has hidden in plain sight and used his considerable skills to ensure the security of others. This provides the reader with an exciting and striking account from a perspective that often goes unnoticed. It explains how much work goes into protection and all the adventures that occur related to it and all the planning and execution that goes along with each of these to ensure a happy ending for the client.
The field of executive protection involves a lot of work and is hugely important to ensuring safety, and the memoir opens a window into this amazing and usually ignored field. LeBrun’s own journey to fulfill his dream offers another thrilling tale with a lot of inspirational elements, showing how one man’s determination can make reality even something that appears as a pipe dream.
Hiding in Plain Sight is sure to provide readers with a lot of insider knowledge and offer a glimpse into the glamorous and dangerous world of protection. It’s available on Amazon and all other major bookstore chains.
