Born in Greenock, Scotland, I went to Glasgow University to study Chemistry and Physics; graduated with a B.Sc. and went on to teaching both subjects in Glasgow.
Immigrated to Brazil to teach chemistry and did the same in Peru. I’m married and have two daughters, one in Paris and the younger here in Sao Paulo with two grand-children and two dogs. I was a tennis and squash champion at my Club - Sao Paulo Athletic Club (SPAC).
Now retired, I decided to write screenplays, some based on my experiences in South America.
