“I consider myself a competitive, motivated, and positive person. I don’t believe in the idea of limited potential. I prefer to push boundaries, testing the limits of what is possible for both myself and my clients.
Personally, I have the honour of being a husband to my wife, Nicolette, and father to my son, Leonardo, and daughter, Nicole-Ann. Having my family supporting me has shaped who I am and what my priorities are – including my tenacity. I am never satisfied with where I am in life but always looking for ways to grow. I feel quality can always be improved and I am proud to say that I am persistently pursuing perfection.
Professionally, I spent twelve years as a banker, working with institutions such as SARB, Investec and RMB Private Advisory. During my tenure, I obtained numerous qualifications in finance and property development.
In 2008, I identified a series of opportunities and decided not to allow my successes to be absorbed into large organisations. Consequently, I spent the next 15 years being self-employed, successfully completing more than 100 meticulously crafted residential homes, some of which have gone on to win prestigious awards at the International Property Awards in Dubai and London.
Currently I focus on Interior Design, manufacturing custom and bespoke furniture and we owner manage two beautiful guesthouses.
I possess strong analytical, entrepreneurial, leadership and organisational skills. I pride myself on my attention to detail and enjoy the process of growth and change.
I’m a solutions guy and an ‘anything is possible’ guy. I love people, and I love Paarl. I love the German characteristics instilled in me of discipline, efficiency, work ethic, being well-organised and punctual. I love trails. Mountains. Trees. Sunsets and sunrises. Good coffee. Braais.
