Christchurch native Sam Coley lives in the popular suburb of Kings Heath in Birmingham, with his French wife, Emilie Grinan-Coley, and son Tom Coley. Kings Heath, which is one of Birmingham's real up-and-coming areas (sometimes described as Birmingham's version of a trendy London borough) is four or so miles from the city centre, and the family have been living there since 2005 and own their own home. Sam is a radio man and is known to people in the New Zealand industry. It was a love of UK radio that took him to the UK in the first place. Now, he works as a lecturer and researcher for Birmingham City University. He's Calling Home this morning.
