Bio
Away from shipping systems that scale, I’ve been an unrepentant Arsenal fan since 2002. I’ve read about 80% of the works of James Hadley Chase, Robert Ludlum, Frederick Forsyth, and Dan Brown and I’m also an avid spectator of most sports.
My desire to see as much of the world as possible has taken me from my birth city of Lagos, to the beautiful islands of the Philippines, some of the most historic cities in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. I like to believe that has shaped who I’ve become - a listener, a quick study with an appreciation for different cultures and an ability to adapt to different environments.
These days, you can find me catching up on non-fiction books, watching documentaries, and trying to keep up with the latest in geo-politics, history and the wonders of the universe. I also fancy myself as a bit of a tennis player and a decent cook.
