About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to expose myself to as much of a variety in life as possible. I want to experience people, places and things and in doing so grow myself and really make the most of the wonders of the world. Life is for living - here goes!

ABOUT ME

I was born in 1991 in Cape Town but grew up on a farm in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, very near to the home of the world-renowned and beloved Nelson Mandela.

After my school career I moved to Port Elizabeth to complete a Degree in Media and Communication and since 2013 have been employed as a Director of Photography and Video Editor.

I pride myself on being open-minded, accommodating, respectable and fun. I am fascinated by people and their 'stories' and hope to continue making great friends with whom I can enjoy life.

I love photography, combustion engines, my beard when I occasionally grow it, and people of course.

PHILOSOPHY

My mantra is "Regret nothing."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done many things so far in life which I am truly grateful for, Growing up on a farm and working in the Video Production Industry has granted me many amazing experiences.

That being said, there are few things more amazing than looking at the stars and watching the sun rise.
