Born in 1957 and from an average but close-knit middle class family background in Weybridge Surrey. Attended a boarding Catholic public school from 7-18 years old in Berkshire and came out with three A levels and a thorough respect for the cane. I played some six years of club rugby with Windsor RFC and thoroughly enjoyed the comraderie and mischief. Further education qualified me in Construction knowhow and after some sixteen years of working in UK, I emigrated to Thailand and took on a country manager role in a Project Management company and have stayed ever since that fateful 1991 arrival with my Family.

I joined the British Club of Bangkok and immersed myself if their rugby team becoming captain for a few years and then as a playing and moaning Chairman. Sadly divorced twice with four earlier kids and now a new wife and two lovely daughters upon whom I dote. The BC and an Asian based Rhino's RFC have taken me on innumerable rugby tours throughout Asia and beyond and in late 2017 I decided to make some written tales of those adventures.
