I was born in Nairobiand educated at Park Road Primary, EastleighPrimary and at Eastleigh Secondary schools. I played football for the Nile House and generally participated in most sports in good spirit and with enjoyment. I was a school Prefect in 1962 and 1963.

I went to the Duke of Gloucester School for my 'A' levels. I was generally quite open to most sports and during this period, I was amember of the school team which climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in April 1965.

Ithen went to Exeter University in the UK. And graduated with a B.Sc. (Hons) in Engineering Science.As a member of CommonwealthExpedition Team of Exeter University,I travelled overland to India from the UK. This was an epic journey of over twenty thousand milesthrough Europe and Middle East, the Khyber Pass and into India!. Here I had the good fortune of visiting my parents' village and knowing my roots.

I returned to the UK and joined the Ministry of Transport in the Highways section. I gained experience in the design office aswell as on construction sites. This pursuit has taken me overseas to many countries including Central and West Africa, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, China, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.

I am currently based in Dubai and carry out assignments in Saudi Arabia and Tanzania. Anycolleague who remembers me is welcome to contact and visit me if passing myway.
