I started my journey pursuing a career in Chartered Accountancy, and along the way discovered I had a passion for training and development (and happened to meet and marry my beautiful wife, Mel!).
We had a great opportunity to work in the USA and eventually joined the Global Learning team of a Big 4 accounting firm in London. It was here that I was able to grow and develop my passion for working with people and giving them tools to help them engage in their work and truly come alive in what they do. And that was only the beginning…
For the last 4 years I’ve been involved with training and leadership development both locally and internationally.
I’m inspired by music, people and stories.
I’m passionate about seeing people come alive, hanging out with friends and family, travelling and going to rock shows!
What I love most about my work is that I get to do what I love every day.
What I love most about living in SA is the sun, natural beauty, the incredible people and the beauty in our diversity. Oh, and I like the energy in our chaos!
I share my home with my beautiful wife Mel, and our cat Roxy.
I listen to a whole lot of music! Music moves me… It helps me tap my foot to the rhythm of life!
I read comics… And real books too! I am inspired by peoples’ stories, so the book next to my bed generally has that flavour.
I believe in a thing called love.
