I was born in Kisumu, grew up in Nairobi and educated at City Primary, Racecourse Secondary and Eastleigh Secondary schools.

I left Kenya in 1965 to UK to study accountancy and business and later, I met a Nairobi-born girl, Surinder Grewall, whom I married in 1967. I worked in London for sometime and later set up own business before moving to sunny California in 1980.

The weather and landscape in California are constant reminders of my days in Kenya and in particular in western Kenya where I spent many years working for the Public Works Department. My job entailed extensive travel throughout Kenya. With my travel experience, I established a travel and safari business in the United States. For the past thirty years, my company has booked and made safari arrangements for thousands of travellers from North America to Kenya and other parts of Africa. By sending tourists to Kenya, I am very proud that I can still contribute to the country of my birth!

My wife, Surinder must be one of the very few people to have climbed Mt. Kenya once and Mt. Kilimanjaro twice – first at the age of 17 and then at 60! Both of us just love Kenya!!

We have two sons - Ajay (married to Anita) and Rajan. We are blessed with two lovely grand-daughters, Aashiyana and Suriyana
