I was born in Eldoret and educated at Juja Road Primary School, Nairobi and Central Primary School, Kisumu. After studying at Kisumu High School, I moved to Nairobi and studied at ESS from 1964 to 1966 my school time.

In 1967 I went to Pakistan and completed Pre Medical at F.C. College Lahore. Due to political unrest in 1969, I returned to Nairobi. I changed my career to Industrial Engineering, studying part time at Kenya Polytechnic and working at the same time. I erected several Industry buildings, the last one being as project engineer for Thika Cloth Mills.

In 1979 I moved to Stockholm, Sweden. Whilst in Sweden, I had spent 2 years at Stockholm University learning Swedish and German. Later I went to college for three years and studied Heating, Ventilation and Sanitation Engineering. Having worked and gained good experience in the field I joined Kings Technical University from 1982 to 1986 in the above subjects. My last job as a Civil Engineer Consultant in Swedish society makes me feel very proud. I moved back to London to look after my ailing mother. I work as a self-employed Consultant in the building trade and play snooker twice a week for leisure.

I got married in 1974 and we have three children; Karim is an Engineer Manager with BT, Shabana is an architect in Los Angeles and Sauna is a driving instructor.

I wish all ESS alumni a happy future.
