I was born in Nairobi and educated at Juja Road Primary and Eastleigh Secondary schools. In sports I was the school cricket captain and the captain of Congo House. I represented ESS in interschool athletics, cricket and hockey. I captained Kenya Schools against the MCC, PIA and Australian Schools XI.

I came to the UK in 1966 started my working career as a shop floor machine operator in the food industry and progressed to become Production Manager for Lyons Maid and Unigate. In 1982, I had a change of careers and started as a trainee stockbroker. I achieved the status of Senior Vice President in various American and UK companies in the brokerage and banking business. In April 2006, I moved to Dubai as New Business Development Director for one of the largest Kenya based companies.

I have been a member of MCC since 1982. I represented MCC and Bucks in minor county cricket. I toured Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan and the West Indies with a variety of teams. I have been organising a range of Bollywood concerts in the UK to raise funds for various charities. I founded an association called BEAMA 10 years ago and it is progressing quite well.

I am married with 2 lovely daughters, and we just celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary! At present, I am very much into Lawn Bowling and am the chairman of Century Bowling Club.
