I think that documenting lives, experiences and snippets of our interior worlds is one of the most daunting, yet potentially noble tasks we can attempt to do before we die. There are stories from my life that I would like to write about here. Whether or not they are stories 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 There are also bits of fiction and poetry I have written, mostly unedited and unpublished, that will have a home here.

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 with a masters in law. For more than a decade now, I have worked on the development and finance of infrastructure projects in emerging markets in Africa and Asia, across multiple sectors.

Both for work and pleasure, 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 international advisory boards, learned to scuba-dive, failed to learn how to kite surf, met hundreds of interesting people and participated in associations working to improve lives around the world. 

My fascination with people, places, words and culture is why I read, travel and write.
