I think that documenting lives, experiences and shots of the interior dynamics of our thoughts and imagination is one of the most daunting, yet potentially noble tasks we can attempt to do before we die. There are certain things I have lived through that I would like to write about. Whether or not they are worth telling will be for you to judge. There are also bits of fiction and poetry I have written, mostly unedited and unpublished, that will live here alongside the non-fiction works.

I was born in Kenya where I have lived for most of my life. I have also lived in 2 other countries, one only briefly and the other for a few years which was longer than I had first intended. I am a qualified lawyer and I hold a masters in financial services law from the University of London, a law degree from the Univerisity of Nairobi and a Post Graduate Certificate in Project Finance from Middlesex University. For more than a decade now, I have been working in as a legal advisor in the development and finance of infrastructure projects in emerging markets in Africa and Asia, across multiple sectors.

Both for work and on my own, I have been to countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia, spoken at international conferences about my work, run an education charity alongside a group of wonderful co-trustees, been part of advisory boards, learned to scuba-dive and failed to learn how to kite surf, met hundreds of interesting people and participated in associations working to improve lives.

My fascination with people, places, words and culture is why I read, travel, write and it is why I am a student of languages.
