About Me

My passion in life is finding a way to combine three things that I love–entrepreneurship, travel, and philanthropy–whenever and wherever there’s a way to do so.

I spend much of my time traveling to interesting locales around the world, looking for business opportunities and setting up various entrepreneurial ventures. I started off doing web development and tech consulting for the first few years of my professional journey, then expanded into other fields once I started getting bored.

My current line of work is promoting adventure tourism, particularly African wildlife safaris in Tanzania through my company Pamoja Safaris. I also recently started up a second web development/design company with my younger brother, where we create awesome WordPress websites for organizations throughout the world.

I enjoy giving back to others through assisting in various charitable causes, mainly those having to do with education, or clean water and sanitation for developing countries. Have also been a member of Rotary International since 2008.

In my free time I enjoy participating in somewhat ludicrous adventures that involve driving wholly unsuitable vehicles from Point A to Point B somewhere in the world (e.g. driving 8,000km through India on a tuk-tuk (rickshaw), going from London to Cape Town in a pair of cars that were decorated to look like shoes, running marathons in the desert with no training/experience, etc.).
