The son of Lieutenant–Colonel Desmond de Warrenne Waller and Angela Mary Wright, he was born in February 1950 at Savernake, Wiltshire.[1] He was educated at Hurstpierpoint College, before going up to Worcester College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1973 and 1974. He made his debut against Lancashire at Oxford, with Waller making a total of twelve appearances.[3] He scored a total of 186 runs in his twelve matches, at an average of 8.45 and with a high score of 29.[4] In addition to playing first-class cricket for Oxford, Waller also played for a combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities team against the touring Indians in 1974.[3]

After graduating from Oxford, Waller became a schoolteacher. He was the head of chemistry and a housemaster at Radley College, before becoming the headmaster of Lord Wandsworth College,[5] a post he held until 1997. He was the headmaster of Cranleigh School for seventeen years, before retiring in June 2014.[6]
