Mari Frank Interviews J. J. (Jack) Luna, International Consultant Specializing in Personal Privacy and Security

In 1959, J. J. (Jack) Luna sold his outdoor advertising business in the Upper Midwest and moved with his wife and small children to Spain's Canary Islands off the coast of West Africa. Outwardly, he was a professional writer and photographer. Secretly, he worked underground in an activity that was at that time illegal under the regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
In 1970 Franco, yielding to intense pressure from the western world, moderated Spain's laws, leaving Luna free to come in from the cold. By that time, however, privacy had become an ingrained habit. In the years that followed he started up various low-profile businesses, built them up and then sold them.
Luna is the author of the book HOW TO BE INVISIBLE: The essential guide to protecting your personal privacy, your assets, and your life. He has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, profiled in Playboy, and interviewed on the G. Gordon Liddy Show. His bestselling book e-book is Invisible Money.
He is currently an international consultant specializing in personal privacy and security.
