He later lived in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis until he was 17 before returning to Edinburgh. He also lived in London and shortly after trained at Solomon Brothers in New York City where he ultimately made his home. It was in NYC on New Year’s Eve of 2003 that he met the love of his life.

Above all he cherished every moment spent with his family and especially enjoyed supporting his children, John and Juliana, at all of their many activities and events.
