I was born in NairobI in 1941 and educated at City Primary, Racecourse Secondary and ESS. I completed my A-levels in 1960 at the Royal Technical College and went on to obtain a BSc in Civil Engineering as an external student of the University of London in 1963.

I worked with the Nairobi City Council as a Water Distribution Engineer. After a year I joined a group of private consultants and specialised in Highways and Bridges. In 1973 I immigrated to London. I worked as a Senior Engineer with a number of London Borough Councils for 4 years. In 1977 I worked on a major Expressway project in Nigeria as the Principal Resident Engineer. In 1981, I returned to the UK and went into my own business but retired in 1992 owing to ill health.

In 1993 I moved to India to look after family interests there. In 1999 I took the opportunity to Project Manage a prestigious 3-year World Bank project in Madhya Pradesh. Thereafter I helped British companies establish their support offices in India. Currently retired, I still keep myself occupied running a small IT office in Gurgaon. I visit London regularly.

I married Sarita in 1966 and we have two wonderful sons who are well settled in London. One is in the IT sector and the other is a lecturer at the University of London. We have a lovely grandson and by the grace of God are leading a reasonably happy and contented life.
