Joined the British Club in 1978 and has now served two spells on the General Committee; 13 years in the 1980s/90s including two as Chair, and now three years in the Chair again. Now one of the old guard, 40 years inevitably having taken their toll on a young family man who joined the Club with two young kids running around pool. Still hanging out at the poolside though, trying to keep body and sole together in the gym, bowling a few balls in the nets and still playing the odd game of cricket.

Came to Thailand to solve Bangkok’s traffic problems and then spent 30 years taking care of a quarter of a million refugees and displaced people from Burma. The full time demands of chairing the GC keeps my promised book perpetually on hold.

I was born near Skipton, West Yorkshire, educated at Rugby school where I quickly lost the northern accent, and read mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford.
When not at university, I helped run our family hillside pub the Pack Horse Inn, which boasts over 120 single malts and is on the Pennine way. When it isn’t blowing a hurricane outside it is a very pleasant place.
In need of a proper job, I moved down to London and worked on software for the MoD in Holborn, which was installed on navy ships and submarines. In May 2001, having been inspired by others taking time out before university, I decided to uproot and head off blindly into SE Asia. By chance I met someone holidaying in Samui who had a dev manager job offer – which I happily took! Since then I have been working in Bangkok, firstly for a company that built the software that ran the entire set of Bumrungrad hospital departments, then for Microsoft Thailand for 5 years and now for Orion Health in Ploenchit as the software architect building regional health systems in New Zealand, Turkey and SE Asia.
I play squash (not very well but improving) in the leagues and enjoy the new Silom wing at weekends with my wife Pui, and 3 year old son Harry. We live in Bang Na to be close to Patana school.
