About Me

CURRENT MISSION

sail around the world

ABOUT ME

Born JHB, South Africa, family immigrated to Aus in 1988 by sailing there. After schooling and studies, worked in and around Western Australia, then got a lucky break in 1997 and got onto a project in Malaysia - loved it. Worked in London with buddies for about 6 months, also travelling Europe and UK. Next job was Laos - loved it. Got back into sailing again, this time keelboat racing - loved it. Finally robbed a bank and managed to buy my own boat.

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty and open-ness, i wear my heart on my sleeve.
