What’s your backstory?
I spent 2 years after school in the South African Army, I learned to parachute, it was a great experience. I studied the Woolworths management course after completing the army. I dabbled in many businesses, had a clothing shop, jewelry store and by 24 opened my jewelry wholesale business.
I completed a course in grading cut diamonds and eventually moved on to importing items from the East which has taken me down the road to where I am today. 3 years ago, I met the Inventors of Butterfly cup and have been very involved in launching this worldwide.
Which people in life inspire you the most? Why?
People with a balance in their personal and business lives inspire me. This balance I keep talking about is the key to true happiness and success. I love success stories, people who take an idea and follow that through to making it successful.
What do you think makes your work stand out?
I am not extra special, I work hard and have the ability to see opportunity. I love what I do most days and am passionate about the projects I get involved in and the people I work with.
