He worked in the computer industry mostly in the UK, but also for over eleven years in several African countries, such as: Ethiopia, Zambia, Botswana, South Africa.
During his time in Zambia between 1973-75, Mike and others drove from Lusaka and through Tanzania to successfully climb Kilimanjaro. He obtained a Private Pilot’s Licence in 1974 at the Lusaka Flying Club and went on to be an instructor.
He has a strong interest in music, particularly Jazz, as well as stamp collecting and Hornby Dublo trains. He has a keen interest in classic cars having owned his first Triumph TR4A in 1965 and selling his last one in 2020. As a result of working abroad, he enjoys travel, especially to places of historical interest in Europe and Africa. He is thoroughly committed to his family—four children, nine grandchildren—and to his local C of E church.
From 2007, for about seven years, he wrote articles for his local Parish News on subjects such as: the Ark of the Covenant, the Knights Templar, the Cathars, the Battle of Agincourt, the Scramble for Africa, the C of E Cathedral in Johannesburg.
A keen sportsman who still plays squash and walks, with a strong interest in most sports, particularly at international level. He was a crew member on a 42ft yacht in 2002 sailing from Menorca to Split, Croatia. In 2004, again a crew member taking a 44ft yacht from Southampton to Split.
His close relative’s involvement in WWII stimulated him to write historical novels based to some extent on the relative’s experiences in the Intelligence Services and the Royal Navy.ver menos
