I was born in Nairobi (Baridi Road), Kenya and did my primary education at City Primary School and then at Juja Road Primary School. The final four years were at Eastleigh Secondary School, which I completed in 1961.

I then started work with East African Airways as an Avionic Trainee. I left Nairobi for the UK during the "EXODUS" in February 1968. I found work at Southend-on-Sea airport for 9 months with a firm called Aviation Traders. I then joined B.O.A.C (now British Airways) in 1969 and have been with them ever since as a Maintenance Engineer based at Terminal 4, Heathrow. I am married to Lila (in London) and we have one son, Neal.

At school I played Cricket and Hockey and was a good athlete (I think!!) winning the Cross Country, the Mile and the 880 Yards during my last 2 years for Zambezi House, coached by Mr. Hashmi. I keep in touch regularly with around six ex-ESS boys in London and after the reunion the squad might grow!
