Keith is a British and German citizen born 75 years ago in Liverpool. He grew up in the Bristol / South Gloucestershire area, in the United Kingdom.

He has lived in Germany since 1986 and in Berlin since 1994.

He has worked most of his career in the aero industry, lastly as an engineer for Rolls-Royce Deutschland in Berlin. He is currently the Treasurer of the Rolls-Royce Deutschland Senior & Jubilee (Oldie club).

As a boy Keith was an avid trainspotter and over his lifetime has had a model railway layout. He is currently building an 00 scale layout of Westbury in Wiltshire.

Keith has, with his wife, travelled around the world several times on Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2 since 2015.

On Cunard's Queen Mary 2 in 2019 on one of his cruises, he did a presentation of his title “Trains and Boats and Planes”, organised by Edward Moffatt (Asst. Entertainment Director) labelled in the daily programme under “Interest Corner”.

Also on Cunard's Queen Victoria on Cunard's Centenary World Voyage (January to April 2023), he did three presentations, "GWR King class steam locomotives and British Kings", "GWR County class and British Counties" and "British Railways Class 40s and Ocean Liners from the past". These were organised also under “Interest Corner" by Chris Thomas and Tommi Baxter-Hill (both Asst. Entertainment Directors).

The "British Railways Class 40s and Ocean Liners from the past" presentation was given a good mention on the "Good Morning Queen Victoria" on board TV show of the day by Entertainment Director, Michael Harvey.

All of my talks are about named British Railways locomotives and their associated names ( a brief history of each). Each talk is a stand alone talk, with the common point of being railway locomotive related :-

Further talks are in preparation. My full list has nearly one hundred (that's 100) titles, so that’s a pretty diverse range of subjects.

I did a presentation of “Trains and Boats and Planes” on Queen Mary 2 in March 2019 in front of about twenty people arranged by Ed Moffat (Asst. Entertainment Director) labelled in the daily programme under “Interest Corner”.

Also, on Cunard's Queen Victoria, on Cunard's Centenary World Voyage (January to April 2023), I did three presentations, "GWR King class steam locomotives and British Kings", "GWR County class and British Counties" and "British Railways Class 40s and Ocean Liners from the past". These were organised also under “Interest Corner" by Chris Thomas and Tommi Baxter-Hill (both Asst. Entertainment Directors).

The "British Railways Class 40s and Ocean Liners from the past" presentation was given a very good mention on the "Good Morning Queen Victoria" on board TV show of the day by Entertainment Director, Michael Harvey.
