About Me
Studied law, languages. Worked at the BBC. Then Hollard Insurance. Then after a short period of doing my own thing, joined a start up company Etana Insurance - a business insurer doing things diffrently not for difference sake but to make a real difference to team mates and clients. I live in South Africa and am a passionate African. I believe anything is possible and that my friends and family are what make this world worthwhile. My work at Etana is very important to me, but so is keeping a healthy balane with all parts of my life. I love life and laugh a lot at the hand I am dealt. Love living in Johannesburg. Burning Man and Afrikaburn play a big part ion my life. As does being chairman of St Stithians College.
