I was born in Kikuyu (railway station). As my father worked in the railways I attended many schools up and down the country ending in Molo for my primary school education. I joined ESS in 1968 and left after Form 3 in the exodus.

I studied my O and A levels in Coventry. I enrolled in the medical school at University College London in 1971 and graduated in 1976. I enjoy playing golf but have myself as the handicap. I am married to Anju and we have three children, a boy and two girls. We are keen gardeners and have an allotment. I was a scout under the Luther command. My worst moment at Eastleigh was being beaten up by Dogo for getting dandruff onto my history book and not paying attention! The best moments were hiking as a scout. I have close school friends from ESS - Aku, Pradeep, Manga, Sharad and Anil. Our families meet up regularly and go on regular holidays together.
