About Ignacio
Ignacio was born in Madrid, Spain, where his Colombian artist father went to paint, inspired by the Spanish greats of the late 60's. After returning to Bogota, Colombia his father passed and the family moved to Vancouver, Canada. Ignacio was educated through art, immersed in an intensely creative discipline for over two decades within the motion picture art department. Surrounded by incredible artists and other-worldly design challenges, his creativity flourished.

Ignacio now resides in southern California.  Inspirited by his fathers paintings, he is exploring the depths of his creativity as a visual artist. His Colombian heritage erupts in colour and form whilst he experiences this language and embraces its lessons. Lost, in this wonderful world of art.

“An unbelievable journey from dangerous crime to Clint Eastwood’s butler!” – Shaun Attwood, true crime author/YouTuber

Born into poverty and subjected to physical and mental torture in British care homes, Terry Moogan found himself as a young adult embroiled in a life of crime, hijacking Securicor vans as a means of rebellion. His actions eventually led to his arrest and an 18-year prison sentence, during which he engaged in daredevil escapes.

Moogan’s life took a huge turn when, after working as a butler on the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton took him under their wing. Unfortunately, the ship became a target of an IRA plot, resulting in Moogan losing his job.

Resuming a life of crime back in Britain, he formed a notorious gang of bank robbers, only to be caught at gunpoint red-handed, where he was faced with prison once again.

However, fate had more in store for Moogan. A prison strike granted him a 24-hour release, during which he seized the opportunity and jumped on the next flight from London to Los Angeles. Through his friendship with Elizabeth Taylor, Moogan entered the glamorous world of Hollywood as a butler to the world’s biggest stars. His first client was none other than Clint Eastwood, which marked the beginning of an illustrious career as a Hollywood Butler, where he later went on to work with George Segal and Max Factor.

He hobnobbed with Hollywood elites, including Burt Reynolds, Robert Redford, Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg, and even cooked for Oprah Winfrey and Joan Rivers upon personal request. He was in such demand that he even turned down jobs with stars, including Steven Spielberg, Mickey Rooney, and Marlon Brando and he could pick whom he wanted to work with.

Moogan's journey also includes a legal battle with Tom Hanks’ son after a car accident, adding another twist to his life story.

Terry Moogan has a treasure chest of mind-blowing celebrity stories that he is sharing for the first time in Liverpool Bank Robber to Hollywood Butler.
