Born in 1911 in Uxbridge or Northwood, London, he came to New York City in 1930. He started working for National Distillers Products Corporation in 1933. In 1940 he resigned from that company as "import manager". For the next year he was the merchandising manager for the "rum, brandy and cordial division' of Schenley Distillers Corporation. He left New York City in 1942 when he was "about to join the British Army as a commissioned officer". He was living in London in 1947 and 1948, but in 1950 and 1952 he was living in New York City. He ran unsuccessfully for Member of Parliament. He met Jane Gillian Portal, but her family objected to the match, so they eloped and married in the United States in 1955. At the time he was said to "own two Scottish distilleries". In 1959 he is described as "Member of Parliament". They divorced.
