I was born in Nairobi (Ngara) on 23rdSeptember 1944. My primary education was at City Primary and Racecourse Primary schools. I joined Eastleigh Secondary School in 1958.

At ESS, I was the captain of the school Hockey team and was also a Prefect. After finishing high school, I joined a chartered accountancy firm in March 1963 and stayed with them until June 1969. During this period I played Hockey for Railway Club and was good enough to be selected for the Kenya Field Hockey Squad. In July 1969 I left for Washington, DC, USA. I joined the World Bank (IBRD) in October 1969 where I worked in the Finance Department and retired in August 1989.

After a short break I joined the family business of airlineticket consolidationwith offices in Canada, US, and India. I was responsible for running the Washington office. In August 2005 I finally decided to retire for good.

In my leisure time, I like golfing, cooking and travelling with my lovely wife of 42 years. We have two sons.
