Born in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, in 1940, he was educated at Bedford School. After fulfilling early promise in the record industry, then in theatre management and subsequently at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), he had notable achievements in the not-for-profit sector, firstly as Executive Director of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and then as National Director of CARE International (UK). He moved to New York in 1994, where he worked with ORBIS International and then as Executive Vice President with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). He was subsequently recruited by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) to head up their fundraising operations, based in Washington DC.
