Following my primary education in Nanyuki, I joined Eastleigh Secondary School in 1961. Here, the school way of life was unique and teachers were highly respected. They influenced students and encouraged hard work in studies and active part in sports. I have fond memories of classroom teachings and performing science experiments in the well-equipped laboratories. I participated actively in school life as a prefect. I was the President of the Geographical Society, took part in science working model competition and played volleyball for the school team. I was in Niger House and was responsible for playing Kenya’s National Anthem at the morning assembly. I used to run documentary films in the lecture theatre.

In 1965, I moved to Jamhuri High School, completed my ‘A’ levels, and came to the UK in 1967. I joined University of Liverpool and graduated in 1970 with B Eng in Civil Engineering. I started my career with a firm of Consulting Engineers in London and Scotland. Having worked on power projects for a number of years, I joined a petrochemical company and have been working for oil & gas industry since. My work includes travelling, particularly to remote places which I enjoy very much. This has given me an opportunity of working in Norway, Australia, India and Russia..

I am married to Deep and we have a daughter and son, both married. We now also enjoy sharing our lives with our two grandchildren. I look forward meeting my classmates from ESS at the Reunion.
