I was born on a warm summer day in the early hours just 2 days after Christmas. I spent my childhood keeping to myself having discovered reading and writing early. After graduating high school with honours and achieving the Springbok Scout Award (Similar to Eagle scout), I ventured into the interesting and wonderous land of academia at the University of Witswatersrand where I received by Bachelors of Commerce. A few short years passed by and my creative love of painting, drawing, writing short stories and poetry gave way to a successful career in business. Something was missing, so I signed up for a Bachelors of Arts specialising in Literature and Creative Writing at the University of South Africa. By day I run a large division in a multinational African IT firm, by night I dream up world unimagined and put paper to pen to bring those stories alive. Now, I balance being a senior leader in business, being a writer, being a church leader with my love of skateboarding, watching movies and television series, reading and writing.
